The Glenn Beck Program - Hey Democrat Cities, if It's Broken, Maybe Try to Fix It？｜ 7⧸8⧸21

00:00:00.000 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:00:23.640 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:53.640 Which came into his house as DEA agents from the U.S. and assassinated the head of Haiti.

00:01:01.560 We'll tell you about that and lots more to get to.

00:01:04.920 Including the fact that Joe Biden loves spending money.

00:01:08.720 We'll get to that and much more in 60 seconds.

00:01:14.520 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:16.800 Buying and selling houses is hard.

00:01:19.260 We've all had to do it from time to time.

00:01:20.940 I'd be willing to guess that you're not on the edge of your seat saying,

00:01:24.920 I can't wait to do this again, all over again.

00:01:27.760 Because it's such a fun process.

00:01:29.420 But it's got to be done.

00:01:30.660 And that means if you're looking to buy or sell or both,

00:01:33.060 you need the best possible real estate agent that you can get.

00:01:35.840 Someone who's going to step in and make sure that they're taking charge of the situation immediately.

00:01:41.960 We're in a situation where people are moving all across the country

00:01:44.620 because they've decided they want to abandon their place in California or New York or Illinois.

00:01:52.000 Some people have realized that maybe other states are better states to be in,

00:01:55.540 in a potentially challenging situation.

00:02:00.360 Your location does matter here in the United States, obviously in a big way.

00:02:04.000 And if you're moving somewhere or if you're selling your house,

00:02:07.120 you want to make sure in a market like this,

00:02:08.760 you're getting the best price for that home.

00:02:10.740 And you want to make sure that you don't overspend in the wrong area,

00:02:15.340 in the wrong market, if you're trying to buy.

00:02:18.880 Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go to find the person that can help you

00:02:21.940 make sense of all of the craziness that's going on right now.

00:02:25.960 Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go.

00:02:27.880 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:02:38.760 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

00:02:44.000 Have you ever heard of a world leader being assassinated in his home before?

00:02:49.520 I don't think I've ever heard of that.

00:02:51.160 Maybe it's happened and I just don't know about it.

00:02:53.900 But I can't think of a similar instance.

00:02:56.140 The guy in Romania, didn't they go into his palace and execute him?

00:03:01.740 That was more of a full-out coup.

00:03:04.540 But maybe there's been a couple, but it's not everyday news.

00:03:08.760 It's bad.

00:03:09.160 And I keep looking for the part where the assassins were themselves killed.

00:03:15.140 And I haven't seen a single story on that.

00:03:18.120 I haven't seen a single word about that.

00:03:20.100 I don't think they caught him.

00:03:21.320 No, it doesn't seem like that.

00:03:22.320 I think they walked into his house claiming to be DEA agents,

00:03:27.720 drug enforcement agents, and then shot the guy and his wife and walked out.

00:03:34.560 And that was it.

00:03:35.480 And they don't have them in custody.

00:03:37.760 No.

00:03:37.980 Amazing to be.

00:03:38.440 I don't think they have him in custody.

00:03:39.500 There have been multiple people killed across the country in, I guess,

00:03:44.240 people that were quote-unquote suspects or loosely tied to someone who could be a suspect.

00:03:49.720 And there's been some people turning up dead over the past 24 hours.

00:03:52.900 This tends to happen after you assassinated the president of a country.

00:03:56.260 Yeah, it does.

00:03:56.900 But it is amazing that this is just, you know, people just aren't really even all that interested in it, it seems.

00:04:03.140 You know, there was a, it's a weird situation there in that they had like a very strange election.

00:04:08.880 They had a provisional president for a while.

00:04:12.480 They had, there was a disagreement on when this guy was going to leave office.

00:04:16.280 They were like, I don't know.

00:04:17.500 Maybe it's this year.

00:04:18.180 Maybe it's next year.

00:04:19.400 Shockingly, he took the next year option.

00:04:21.280 Uh-huh.

00:04:21.540 So, he's been in power.

00:04:23.500 There's a, there's a contingent in the country that's saying that actually he's supposed to be out of power.

00:04:28.380 But usually you don't wind up seeing a situation like this.

00:04:30.980 It's, and it's an incredible story.

00:04:32.260 I mean, it's incredible.

00:04:33.400 We still don't have tons of detail on how it happened.

00:04:35.840 But they said they, you know, in the morning, you know, we wake up and there's just, you know,

00:04:39.980 bolt, you know, casings all over the front lawn.

00:04:43.280 Yeah.

00:04:43.740 And the driveway.

00:04:44.560 Yeah.

00:04:45.200 It really was like they just, they said it was so many, so many bullets.

00:04:49.700 The neighbors said that it felt like it was like an earthquake going on.

00:04:52.380 Like there was just so much gunfire going into this house.

00:04:55.180 Yeah.

00:04:56.060 Incredible.

00:04:56.760 So, yeah.

00:04:57.620 I mean, a world leader, right?

00:04:59.000 You know, Haiti, there's a lot going on.

00:05:01.980 It's had its problems.

00:05:03.140 Yes.

00:05:03.660 Yeah.

00:05:03.980 It's got a few problems.

00:05:04.980 One way to put it.

00:05:06.040 One way to put it.

00:05:07.080 Mm-hmm.

00:05:07.860 But you don't see this every day.

00:05:09.780 No, you really don't.

00:05:11.320 And I'm a little baffled by the fact that there was nobody who put a stop to it before

00:05:19.300 it could get to that point where they could kill him.

00:05:22.040 It does not seem possible.

00:05:23.680 Security forces, maybe.

00:05:26.000 Police officers.

00:05:28.640 Secret service or their version of secret service.

00:05:32.380 Do they have none of that in Haiti?

00:05:34.100 It's kind of weird.

00:05:35.560 Yeah.

00:05:36.060 I mean, they did have security, but.

00:05:37.380 Has anybody looked to the second guy in control who now takes over the country to say.

00:05:41.780 I'm sure he.

00:05:43.840 Excuse me.

00:05:44.200 The prime minister.

00:05:45.160 I know.

00:05:45.500 They had a quote from him that I heard.

00:05:47.560 He's like, hey, I'm in control now.

00:05:49.060 I'm in control.

00:05:49.440 It's me now.

00:05:50.600 So.

00:05:51.060 That immediately led me to believe.

00:05:53.360 Could he have been behind this?

00:05:55.240 Yeah.

00:05:55.680 Maybe that's a little hasty on my part, but.

00:05:58.120 I'd look into it.

00:05:58.900 Let me run this theory by you, and this is not fully formed, but I'd like to get your take

00:06:05.520 on it.

00:06:05.900 Uh-huh.

00:06:06.120 I felt like reading about the story, because it's an interesting story, even if you don't

00:06:09.980 necessarily care about the politics of Haiti, you know, a world leader gets killed, and

00:06:14.220 it's something that's interesting, and I've been trying to find out details on it and

00:06:19.280 trying to read about it as much as I can, and what I felt like is that the coverage has

00:06:24.700 been really bad.

00:06:26.280 Yes.

00:06:27.020 Like, very.

00:06:27.900 Yes.

00:06:28.260 Like, no one's been able to paint a picture of what happened on this day particularly well.

00:06:32.660 No one's been able to really give you much detail.

00:06:35.100 Now, it's soon after, and I know there's a lot of question marks.

00:06:38.180 It's not an easy story to cover.

00:06:40.320 Mm-hmm.

00:06:40.500 But, you know, I feel like I, it crossed my mind that the media has just given up on actually

00:06:47.200 doing journalism.

00:06:47.780 Like, there's a part of it, it's like where, like, they just did five years of just covering

00:06:53.640 Donald Trump's tweets, and now a story like this happens, and there doesn't seem to be

00:06:57.660 anybody around to cover it.

00:06:59.320 No.

00:06:59.560 Or anybody who's capable of telling this story in any rational way.

00:07:03.300 I'm looking, uh, right now, a story I just found, actually, Jeffy just sent it to me.

00:07:07.940 Authorities killed four suspects and arrested two others.

00:07:11.920 So, now they have, okay, six, at least, uh, they're believed to be well-trained killers

00:07:18.540 who allegedly impersonated DEA agents to enter the home.

00:07:23.200 Huh.

00:07:23.820 So, yeah, uh, Prime Minister Claude Joseph has now taken over the government.

00:07:28.160 I'm sure nothing suspicious there.

00:07:30.960 You wouldn't, uh, you wouldn't think, hmm, maybe he had that done?

00:07:35.200 But I guess they're mercenaries, uh, and, uh, highly trained, and at least one of them

00:07:40.280 sounded like an American.

00:07:41.300 He had an American accent, which means he had no accent at all.

00:07:47.220 That's white privilege right there, folks.

00:07:49.780 You heard it in action.

00:07:51.140 There it is.

00:07:51.760 That's what it is.

00:07:52.420 Right there.

00:07:53.240 If you believe that you have no accent because you're white, that's white privilege.

00:07:58.300 No, it's not because I'm white.

00:07:59.180 It's because I'm American.

00:08:00.480 American.

00:08:01.160 American.

00:08:02.520 So, uh, it'll be interesting to see what, what comes of this as we do get more details

00:08:08.160 on what exactly happened.

00:08:09.540 Uh, but for now, just a really, a strange development.

00:08:13.820 And, you know, it's a country that's really close to our borders and does matter.

00:08:18.900 And a lot of people go to the Dominican Republic for, um, vacations.

00:08:24.140 They've got some really nice beaches in the Dominican and a lot of good baseball players

00:08:28.520 from the, come from the Dominican Republic, which is right next door to Haiti.

00:08:31.980 So it's kind of important to, to the U S I mean, cause baseball players and beaches,

00:08:37.040 baseball and beaches.

00:08:38.620 Yeah.

00:08:39.020 Yeah.

00:08:40.040 No, it's, it's, it's, it is obviously very close.

00:08:43.100 Uh, so anytime you have unrest that is relatively close to our shores, we, you know, it's something

00:08:48.520 to monitor.

00:08:49.020 I don't think of it as a story that necessarily affects us all that much, but it is interesting,

00:08:54.320 uh, to the Monroe doctrine where we can't allow any sort of a communist leadership on

00:09:00.580 this side of the planet.

00:09:02.020 That's all I have to say there.

00:09:04.680 Yeah.

00:09:04.920 Well, I look at any time something like this happens, you know, if it, God forbid an assassination

00:09:10.720 happens in a well-developed, you know, democracy or parliamentary democracy or Republic like

00:09:16.560 we have, usually what you have is a situation where people mourn and we go on through the,

00:09:23.860 to the next guy, you know, and we move on and we do our best, right?

00:09:27.440 That doesn't, a lot of these countries, this stuff happens and the whole thing just melts

00:09:30.780 down.

00:09:31.080 Now, I don't know how you melt Haiti down.

00:09:33.680 It's already kind of, it's kind of melted.

00:09:35.820 Yeah.

00:09:36.100 It's, you know, sadly it's, they've had a lot of issues and it's like you put butter in

00:09:40.940 a microwave.

00:09:41.700 What happens then, you know, and turn it up on high for a minute or so.

00:09:44.960 You're not going to have, it does not a solid product.

00:09:47.860 Yeah.

00:09:48.180 No.

00:09:48.620 And that's kind of what the situation Haiti has been.

00:09:50.800 And it's been in a rough, rough patch for a very long time with the prospects.

00:09:57.500 I mean, they, and of course there's been people go back to the Clinton foundation

00:10:00.780 stories where all sorts of corruption has been, has been involved down there.

00:10:06.360 Lots of money flowing there after their tragedies and lots of it not getting to the people in

00:10:10.640 any way that was helpful.

00:10:12.000 Clinton foundation.

00:10:12.900 I'm sorry.

00:10:14.960 I had a little tickle.

00:10:15.840 You okay?

00:10:16.260 You're sick.

00:10:16.680 You're getting sick.

00:10:17.420 I just, a little frog in my throat.

00:10:20.140 Clinton's foundation.

00:10:23.680 Wow.

00:10:24.400 Wow.

00:10:24.840 Wow.

00:10:25.160 That's weird.

00:10:25.640 Yeah.

00:10:25.900 You know, it sounds so great.

00:10:27.240 10 billion dollars.

00:10:31.300 It was a long cough.

00:10:35.680 That could be a whole new, that could be a new variant.

00:10:38.140 It might be the Lambda thing going on.

00:10:40.540 Oh no.

00:10:41.120 Yeah.

00:10:41.400 No, please.

00:10:42.500 You read about the Lambda.

00:10:43.580 I guess we weren't scared enough by the Delta variant.

00:10:46.120 But they got to bring on the Lambda variant now.

00:10:48.800 We'll talk about that later.

00:10:49.640 But, and the other reason it matters to us, I think it's because I've already seen of a

00:10:53.560 little speculation about whether or not U.S. troops are going to be sent to help keep

00:10:58.020 order during the transition.

00:10:59.720 Please.

00:11:00.380 Can we, is this, can we stay out of anybody's situation?

00:11:04.060 At least with, with troops, at least sending the military in.

00:11:08.360 I, I mean, just haven't we learned anything yet?

00:11:11.960 That doesn't usually go well.

00:11:13.960 Let's just stay out of it.

00:11:15.080 Let them, let Haiti deal with, with Haiti.

00:11:18.380 And, uh, let, we'll see how that goes.

00:11:20.980 Well, we've seen how that goes.

00:11:22.500 It's not well.

00:11:24.060 But again, is it our responsibility to patch each one of these things back up?

00:11:28.620 No, it's not.

00:11:29.020 I think the answer to that is no.

00:11:30.840 I mean, there's, you know, there's a lot of great charities that, that work in Haiti

00:11:35.260 and people go and spend their lives trying to rehabilitate, rehabilitate that place.

00:11:39.860 I know there's one charity that goes there and tries to, instead of donating money

00:11:44.500 and throwing money at all the citizens, they open up actual, like, uh, vacation situations,

00:11:50.540 like resorts for other people, other visitors from other countries to go there.

00:11:54.620 And they hire locals.

00:11:56.200 Oh, so they can bring in foreign money and tourism and all that.

00:11:58.480 And they hire locals and try to come up with a business that is actually workable for people

00:12:04.340 over the long term, rather than just, hey, you get one donation every time there's a

00:12:08.700 tragedy and probably your government steals it and then it's over.

00:12:12.120 They have people who are able to actually do work and help people and, and give, you know,

00:12:16.900 give value to people from a lot of times out of the country.

00:12:20.580 Cause you know, of course the country is beautiful.

00:12:22.480 You know, it's an incredible place to go, but they don't have any infrastructure that

00:12:27.760 anyone would want to visit, at least not until recently.

00:12:30.900 And these things have been popping up all over the country.

00:12:33.360 You just, with a situation like this, who knows how it turns out.

00:12:36.700 You don't want, you don't want another Cuba, right?

00:12:38.740 Right.

00:12:38.920 I mean, you don't want, you don't want that to happen again.

00:12:41.880 We went there, um, was it 2015, maybe 2014 or 15.

00:12:49.520 It was years after the, the earthquake, but everywhere we went in Haiti, there was still,

00:12:56.240 uh, the lingering effects of the earthquake.

00:13:00.640 In some cases, rubble still there that hadn't been dealt with.

00:13:03.520 There's, you know, uh, partially collapsed buildings that should probably be completely

00:13:08.180 torn down, uh, cause they're unsafe.

00:13:10.300 I mean, all over the country, this was years later and they were still.

00:13:14.820 And so the kind of the question was, didn't the Clinton foundation did send them $10 billion

00:13:21.160 to, I mean, and that wasn't the only, of course, aid that was given to Haiti, but still much

00:13:28.120 had not been done.

00:13:29.660 And why?

00:13:31.000 Well, it's the corruption in the country.

00:13:32.720 So they, they do have a difficult time.

00:13:34.640 It's, uh, it's been tough for them.

00:13:36.020 And then after that, after the 2010 earthquake, I think there was a serious hurricane that went

00:13:42.320 through as well.

00:13:43.180 And they're right in the path of hurricanes all the time too.

00:13:45.900 So things, things are tough there.

00:13:48.000 Uh, 888-727-BECK.

00:13:50.480 More coming up in one minute.

00:13:51.680 Let's see.

00:13:56.480 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.

00:14:02.260 Uh, the agenda of Joe Biden, or how excited are you for it?

00:14:08.120 Spending quite a bit of money.

00:14:09.820 You know, I mean, if you consider, what is it so far?

00:14:12.600 Five trillion?

00:14:14.020 Six trillion?

00:14:14.580 If you consider that a lot of money.

00:14:15.880 There was a time when five trillion would have been considered a fairly large amount of

00:14:21.060 money.

00:14:21.800 That time has passed, of course, because they're not done spending yet.

00:14:26.140 Uh, and they're also talking about, uh, tax increases, but of course, only on the rich

00:14:31.460 who, who deserve it.

00:14:32.880 They won't even care.

00:14:34.220 Uh, they make so much money.

00:14:35.680 Yeah.

00:14:35.760 They don't need any more money.

00:14:36.860 No, no.

00:14:37.820 I've determined Pat through a process of me thinking about it, how much money everyone

00:14:43.080 else needs.

00:14:44.160 And a lot of people have more than that amount.

00:14:47.160 So what I want to do is take the amount that they don't need.

00:14:51.200 Which I would say anything is over like anything over four digits.

00:14:56.400 You know, if you have over nine, no one needs more than $9,999 per year.

00:15:02.840 Okay.

00:15:03.280 Okay.

00:15:03.660 Yeah.

00:15:04.000 What I'm going to do is take all of the rest of the money and do with it whatever you want.

00:15:09.680 I want to do with it.

00:15:10.960 Okay.

00:15:11.560 Because I.

00:15:12.620 Can you spend it better than I can?

00:15:13.960 Yeah, exactly.

00:15:14.620 Like, you don't know what the heck you're doing.

00:15:15.840 What do you know?

00:15:16.300 I don't know.

00:15:16.500 What do you, I mean, you are.

00:15:18.980 Who am I?

00:15:19.880 What do I know?

00:15:20.460 Nothing.

00:15:20.960 You know nothing.

00:15:21.980 I'm nothing.

00:15:22.640 Nobody.

00:15:23.160 Well, what do you do?

00:15:24.400 You know, you're.

00:15:25.640 Look at what you've done so far.

00:15:27.340 Exactly.

00:15:27.900 You bought things for yourself, for your family.

00:15:30.060 Yeah.

00:15:30.520 I have a house.

00:15:30.820 You started a business.

00:15:32.040 Right.

00:15:32.400 This is all wasteful nonsense.

00:15:35.100 Okay.

00:15:35.620 What I will do with your money is incredible things.

00:15:39.520 Will you build turtle tunnels, for instance?

00:15:42.120 Yeah.

00:15:42.240 Like, these turtles try to cross the road and they get run over by cars.

00:15:46.060 They get squished, which is not right.

00:15:47.640 It's not right.

00:15:48.660 So, the money that you'll pay in taxes this year, Pat, I will take.

00:15:52.260 And what I'll do with it is I'll apply all of it to about one one-hundredth of one turtle

00:15:58.140 tunnel, and if we take a hundred people like you and all of your money, we'll kind of

00:16:03.560 put that in a giant bowl, and we'll take that bowl and we'll just dump it all over

00:16:08.260 the highway.

00:16:09.460 I'm not going to actually build the turtle tunnel.

00:16:10.780 It seems like too much work.

00:16:11.560 But, like, that much money would be a turtle tunnel.

00:16:13.560 We'll hope the turtles will take that and maybe learn how to cross the road in a more

00:16:17.460 efficient fashion.

00:16:18.960 Or they'll take it and build the tunnel themselves.

00:16:20.940 Yeah.

00:16:21.240 I would.

00:16:21.720 Look.

00:16:21.880 You know.

00:16:22.440 I'm not going to do the work for them.

00:16:25.040 I mean, they're turtles.

00:16:26.160 Right.

00:16:26.400 Let them do whatever they need in their turtle world.

00:16:29.720 Oh, yeah.

00:16:30.080 I don't care about the turtles.

00:16:31.140 To be clear, I do not care about the turtles.

00:16:33.120 But the turtles are being murdered.

00:16:35.920 Yeah, they are.

00:16:36.600 By people like you.

00:16:37.860 Right.

00:16:38.340 You know, with your cars.

00:16:39.140 Who just drive over the top of them.

00:16:40.160 Because you bought a car with some of this money.

00:16:42.000 Yeah.

00:16:42.360 For yourself.

00:16:43.400 Right.

00:16:44.420 Yeah, I did.

00:16:45.140 Did you ever hear about carpooling?

00:16:46.620 You ever hear about Uber?

00:16:47.740 I've heard about it.

00:16:48.280 I've heard about it.

00:16:49.140 Taxi cabs?

00:16:50.120 Yes.

00:16:51.020 I don't use them, but I've heard about it.

00:16:52.680 Horse-drawn wagons?

00:16:54.420 Yes.

00:16:54.780 Have you ever heard of those?

00:16:55.320 I've seen those in movies.

00:16:56.460 But you, unfortunately, work very far away from here.

00:16:59.480 Mm-hmm.

00:16:59.900 I live very far away from here.

00:17:00.640 And I've chosen to drive a car.

00:17:02.480 Yeah, drive a car instead of just moving into a commune nearby.

00:17:06.040 Yeah.

00:17:06.720 Yeah.

00:17:06.940 All of these things are your choices.

00:17:08.680 Uh-huh.

00:17:08.880 Your fault.

00:17:09.560 That's why I'm going to take every dollar above $9,999.

00:17:13.760 Okay.

00:17:14.080 And that's exactly the attitude of the government.

00:17:17.120 Basically.

00:17:18.100 Which is kind of demonstrated by Joe Biden here when he's talking about this tax credit situation.

00:17:23.100 Starting next week, families have begun to receive one of the largest ever single-year tax cuts aimed to families and children.

00:17:29.500 Oh.

00:17:29.700 And every child under the age of six is $3,600.

00:17:32.460 Every child between six and 17 is $3,000.

00:17:35.620 It's not as a credit against your tax.

00:17:37.340 Wow.

00:17:37.560 So the direct payment, you'll get cash.

00:17:39.860 Uh-huh.

00:17:40.300 Oh.

00:17:40.640 Cash.

00:17:41.560 Cash.

00:17:41.760 That's what we'll get.

00:17:42.280 For example, a middle-class family with two children can expect to receive $7,200.

00:17:48.200 You get the first half, the $3,600 paid out, $600 a month between July and December.

00:17:53.440 And you get the rest between January and tax day.

00:17:56.920 Nice.

00:17:57.380 With this one tax cut, every study shows that child care is cutting poverty in half by 40%.

00:18:06.340 What?

00:18:07.120 Families with children who qualify for this has cut poverty by 40%.

00:18:11.760 This one payment cuts poverty by...

00:18:13.160 So let's extend the tax cut at least through 2025.

00:18:16.920 And let's expand...

00:18:18.120 Uh-huh.

00:18:18.900 Yeah!

00:18:20.040 Yeah!

00:18:20.640 Give me free money!

00:18:21.840 Yeah!

00:18:22.800 Yeah!

00:18:24.260 Free money!

00:18:25.100 For millions more children.

00:18:28.940 Uh, that's unbelievable to me.

00:18:31.640 They're just...

00:18:32.000 That's unbelievable.

00:18:33.320 This is just universal basic income for parents.

00:18:36.460 Yeah.

00:18:37.120 Uh, what's the cutoff income-wise for that?

00:18:40.920 He didn't...

00:18:41.440 He didn't mention it.

00:18:42.340 It just sounded like everybody gets a check.

00:18:44.080 If you have a kid...

00:18:44.960 I...

00:18:45.380 If you have kids under six, you get $3,600.

00:18:49.580 If they're up to 17, you get $3,200, I believe he said.

00:18:55.220 I just...

00:18:55.760 No, it's $3,000 for six to 17-year-olds.

00:18:58.800 Okay, $3,000.

00:19:00.140 And $3,600.

00:19:00.880 I have 44 children between six and 17.

00:19:07.080 Really?

00:19:07.860 Yeah.

00:19:08.860 Yeah.

00:19:09.080 Um, uh, I just...

00:19:11.800 I mean, I just adopted another, uh, 38 kids, uh, over the weekend.

00:19:18.980 And so, I'm looking forward to that payment.

00:19:22.300 I think you may want to...

00:19:23.640 I'm just gonna...

00:19:24.520 I don't want to criticize your financial, uh, your financial acuity here.

00:19:29.080 Yeah, right.

00:19:29.340 Um, the issue here is you may want to have wanted to look, uh, at the income limits and...

00:19:35.260 Oh, dang it.

00:19:35.880 What are the income limits?

00:19:37.200 Okay, so, uh, your adjusted gross income, $75,000 or less for, uh, single taxpayers.

00:19:42.560 I guess I'm unadopting some kids, uh, this week.

00:19:45.240 Oh, there's a giant pile of babies out front of Pat's car.

00:19:49.240 Why are they...

00:19:50.160 Um, above $75,000, the amount begins phasing out.

00:19:53.880 Okay, so it goes all the way up to $240,000, uh, single file.

00:19:57.520 Let me see.

00:19:58.560 Uh...

00:19:59.000 I mean, at $240,000, at $440,000, couples get phased out of the tax credit entirely.

00:20:05.560 I mean, can you imagine, so, you're making $439,000 a year, you're still getting some

00:20:09.680 partial tax credit for your kids?

00:20:11.680 Like, this is insanity.

00:20:13.480 And a direct cash payment.

00:20:15.440 It's not...

00:20:15.940 That's not deducted from your taxes during the year.

00:20:18.540 They're sending you a check.

00:20:19.840 And one of the big parts of this is to prime you for universal basic income, is the check

00:20:24.520 comes to you.

00:20:25.200 It's not like you're no longer in a tax...

00:20:26.620 And your tax is at the end of the year.

00:20:28.220 You're just getting a tax...

00:20:29.520 A check delivered to you every month.

00:20:31.860 They're gonna do this in 2025.

00:20:34.200 Amazing.

00:20:35.540 They're doing it forever.

00:20:37.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:43.440 Pat Gray.

00:20:44.220 Stupid gear for Glenn.

00:20:45.800 On the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:46.780 You have Google devices at your house?

00:20:51.600 You know, like the Google Home or Google Nest?

00:20:55.040 You have the Nest, right?

00:20:56.380 I have all this crap.

00:20:57.620 I'm not...

00:20:58.740 I do not hold the line in this way.

00:21:01.840 And you saw the convenience...

00:21:03.180 The most recent thing about these devices, they're recording everything you do.

00:21:07.940 You know, that is probably definitely true.

00:21:13.540 But I also want to be able to walk into a room and say, play a song, please.

00:21:18.800 Yes.

00:21:19.660 Please play what weather is.

00:21:22.860 We are so lazy.

00:21:23.120 That's as much effort as I want to put into it.

00:21:25.200 It's so bad.

00:21:26.120 It happened so fast, too.

00:21:27.460 It did.

00:21:28.420 It did.

00:21:28.980 It really did.

00:21:29.520 But it is awesome when you can say, and I won't say the name of the product.

00:21:33.180 I'll just...

00:21:34.000 Amazon thing.

00:21:36.180 Play my playlist.

00:21:38.280 Playing playlist.

00:21:39.680 And there it is.

00:21:40.560 It comes on.

00:21:40.960 I love that.

00:21:41.940 You don't have to walk over to it.

00:21:43.540 You just tell it what to do and it does it.

00:21:45.340 It's remarkable.

00:21:45.800 Turn up volume.

00:21:47.300 And it turns up the volume.

00:21:48.700 I love that.

00:21:50.080 Look, you could get into this, you know, reminiscing into old timey things in a lot of

00:21:58.540 ways.

00:21:59.040 And it's easy to do these days.

00:22:00.120 But like, I remember like driving around the state to, you know, quote unquote record

00:22:06.780 stores where they had, you know, really more CDs at that time and just looking for

00:22:13.320 like a rare thing that I wanted, some weird remix or B-side or whatever it was, driving

00:22:20.380 hours to go to these stores that were like specialty stores to find things that I wanted

00:22:24.680 to listen to songs.

00:22:25.660 And now everything you could possibly want is available basically for free, whatever

00:22:32.440 you want with no effort.

00:22:34.000 And I can't...

00:22:34.540 Oh, this little round thing right in front of you.

00:22:35.640 Yeah.

00:22:35.760 In your kitchen or living room or wherever it is.

00:22:37.640 And to me right now, the same person who drove around the state, now like me unlocking

00:22:43.680 my phone and typing it in is way too much effort.

00:22:47.160 It's too much.

00:22:48.080 It's too much.

00:22:48.960 It's way too much.

00:22:49.900 It's too much.

00:22:50.100 I gotta be able to just shout it across the room and it happens.

00:22:53.000 Right.

00:22:53.720 Like I know at one point I have, I got one of these Amazon devices that is the tap.

00:23:02.300 You know, they have all these different versions.

00:23:03.520 They have the echo and they have, you know, there's, there's all, there's the little tiny

00:23:08.140 one.

00:23:08.400 I don't know what that one's called, but they have all different versions of it.

00:23:10.720 And there's one called the tap that they released.

00:23:12.320 I don't know if they still sell it or not, but this is the one that you don't yell to

00:23:16.660 basically.

00:23:17.180 I think you can set it up to say, Hey, Amazon device, play the song.

00:23:21.860 But basically what it's designed to do is there's a button on it and you press the button

00:23:25.600 and you say, Hey, Amazon device, you know, do the thing, right?

00:23:30.800 Like play the song, just tell me the weather or whatever.

00:23:33.180 And I think a couple of things it was designed for it was, you know, but the main thing that

00:23:37.640 you think of from, from a perspective of like privacy was it's not on until you press

00:23:42.120 the button.

00:23:42.560 Like the theory was now, of course, you know, of course it's probably recording me the whole

00:23:46.520 time anyway, but the theory was it was an appeal to people who didn't want this thing

00:23:50.180 on all the time available.

00:23:51.920 You could say that to command a hundred thousand times in a row, wouldn't do anything unless

00:23:55.280 you press this button.

00:23:56.060 But of course it's too hard to go over and press the button.

00:23:58.460 It's, you don't want to do that.

00:23:59.320 Every time like three steps.

00:24:02.700 I got to get up out of a chair and do it.

00:24:04.540 No.

00:24:05.000 And then I got to hit the thing.

00:24:07.380 And like, you know, when you're listening, you're in the middle, you have the thing playing

00:24:10.240 a playlist.

00:24:10.800 Unless you're in the middle of doing something else and you want to skip some crappy song

00:24:14.440 that has come on.

00:24:15.300 You got to walk over to it.

00:24:16.820 That's ridiculous.

00:24:17.820 It's infuriating.

00:24:19.360 It's one of the worst things that's ever happened to me.

00:24:22.120 It's outrageous that you'd have to do that.

00:24:24.780 So bad.

00:24:25.480 And of course it is.

00:24:26.380 And these are devices we didn't have access to until just recently.

00:24:31.280 These are pretty recent innovations.

00:24:33.500 And each one of them I make fun of as if they're the most ridiculous thing that's ever happened.

00:24:37.220 Like when I have, when I got the fingerprint thing on my phone, I remember thinking, what

00:24:43.680 person can't spend the time to type the four digits into their phone and unlock it?

00:24:50.840 What weird, what, you know, person from, you know, what from WALL-E, it was this.

00:24:56.940 Yeah.

00:24:57.140 And then it was me in about five minutes.

00:24:59.060 And then now I can't imagine using my fingerprint.

00:25:03.300 I'll, now it's just facial recognition and it'd be completely ridiculous for me to ever

00:25:09.900 have to use my fingerprint again.

00:25:11.360 It's like 1800s technology to me.

00:25:14.300 And what does it save me?

00:25:15.500 One 80th of a second?

00:25:17.120 Probably.

00:25:17.660 But that's, I can't, I can't even comprehend it.

00:25:20.200 Yeah.

00:25:20.520 How dare they ask me to put my finger on the phone?

00:25:23.980 And as far as listening to a playlist, instead of, I don't know, putting in a CD, when was

00:25:29.200 the last time you put a CD into anything?

00:25:33.200 I mean, CDs were just fairly recently state of the art innovation.

00:25:39.180 And now it's like a CD.

00:25:41.440 What's that for?

00:25:42.360 What's, I don't even, I don't remember.

00:25:44.680 I vaguely remember these round things that you put into a slot, but I can't imagine having

00:25:50.120 to go through that painstaking process.

00:25:52.960 Because I will say there, my, I have an older car and it's almost 10 years old now.

00:26:00.020 And so it is, you know, it's, the technology in 10 years changes a freaking lot, Pat.

00:26:08.060 I mean, like it has, my car does not have the ability to turn on Bluetooth and connect

00:26:14.460 to my phone so I can play songs in my car.

00:26:16.220 Oh, it doesn't?

00:26:16.560 No.

00:26:17.240 It was in 2012, I think.

00:26:19.420 So, I mean, the technology existed.

00:26:21.480 It was in some cars, but it wasn't in all cars.

00:26:23.240 And mine's one of them it wasn't in.

00:26:24.680 So I have to like plug in a little wire every time I get into my car.

00:26:28.340 Oh, no.

00:26:28.700 I mean, and this is like.

00:26:29.900 What are you, a Luddite?

00:26:31.600 Pretty much.

00:26:32.160 Are you anti-science and technology?

00:26:34.280 Is that what you are?

00:26:35.440 I'm pretty much churning butter.

00:26:37.020 You should live in Western Pennsylvania.

00:26:41.600 It's true.

00:26:42.240 It's how I feel.

00:26:43.520 And it's funny because like that process is still a little clunky, right?

00:26:49.520 You got to connect to Bluetooth or you got to plug your phone in and you're on it.

00:26:54.720 But like now they have the Apple CarPlay, which is on.

00:26:57.540 Yeah.

00:26:58.080 My wife has a car within the Apple CarPlay.

00:27:00.440 She plugs the thing in and it looks so nice.

00:27:02.140 It's on the screen.

00:27:02.780 It comes up perfectly.

00:27:03.980 All the apps from the phone come up.

00:27:05.420 It looks all pretty.

00:27:06.080 It's all integrated.

00:27:07.540 And, you know, but for a while, that's the only time I would say that the CDs were used.

00:27:13.140 Her, one of her last cars didn't have all those fancy features and it had a CD player and she

00:27:17.980 got so annoyed at trying to get her phone connected and it would lose the connection and all that

00:27:21.640 stuff that she just started buying the CDs.

00:27:24.120 And it was, but like, I don't even, I went to, it's funny because we have a, we were talking,

00:27:29.300 we were going on a long drive and I was thinking to myself, we need to get like a movie or something

00:27:32.080 for these kids because they're just, you know, they're at that point.

00:27:35.120 I have two kids.

00:27:36.220 They're 18 months apart and typically they're really good together, but at times they get

00:27:40.880 on each other's nerves a tad and on a long drive, that's when it's going to happen, you

00:27:44.420 know?

00:27:44.900 So I'm like, we got to get these kids a movie or something.

00:27:46.940 I think we got a DVD player or whatever.

00:27:48.760 Let's just like put this thing in there.

00:27:50.000 So we went to Walmart or Target or something to try to find DVDs.

00:27:54.900 The section for DVDs now is like, it's, it's smaller than like your locker at high school.

00:28:00.420 Like it's like, there's four DVDs.

00:28:02.620 They have two copies each.

00:28:04.160 Like that.

00:28:05.060 It's funny.

00:28:05.700 Like obviously like, you know, uh, uh, what's the things that are outside of like Walgreens,

00:28:11.760 the red, um, Oh yeah.

00:28:13.680 Red box.

00:28:14.380 Red box.

00:28:14.640 Yeah.

00:28:14.940 Yeah.

00:28:15.520 Red box.

00:28:16.220 They're all over the country.

00:28:17.220 There's still, people are still renting them, but the DVD market is, you know, now you're

00:28:20.700 just downloading these movies.

00:28:22.540 This is the whole GameStop controversy, right?

00:28:24.820 When that was going through the roof, everyone's like, well, no one buys physical games anymore.

00:28:29.300 How can this company possibly be going up to a hundred and two hundred and three hundred

00:28:33.440 dollars a share?

00:28:34.280 Right.

00:28:35.240 It really, all that stuff has just been replaced.

00:28:38.560 So fast too.

00:28:39.780 So quickly.

00:28:40.560 I don't think, you know, Glenn has been on this kick for a long time.

00:28:43.780 Um, that he always tries to resist this stuff for a while.

00:28:47.580 And like, I want all, how many times has he said this?

00:28:49.680 I want all this stuff out of my house.

00:28:51.880 I don't even want to be on the internet.

00:28:53.500 I don't want the internet.

00:28:54.760 I want all the iPads out of the house.

00:28:56.960 Hold on.

00:28:57.220 No satellite TV.

00:28:58.940 Yeah.

00:28:59.480 Well, that my children know about, but I'm going to have access to it, of course, and

00:29:03.660 then they'll find out.

00:29:04.480 And so will they.

00:29:06.740 And, uh, he always wants to get rid of all of his devices with the, with the possible

00:29:12.100 of section of the iPad that is continually attached to his hands at all times.

00:29:16.780 Yeah.

00:29:17.380 And it was mine.

00:29:18.500 I carry that thing with me wherever I go.

00:29:21.180 And I don't do the iPad thing, but I do have your phone and you try to resist this stuff

00:29:26.960 from this idea that you're just going to get rid of it.

00:29:29.440 And it's really just not possible.

00:29:31.260 And you just, we do not have the capacity.

00:29:33.700 And it's weird because we did have the capacity.

00:29:36.540 Yes.

00:29:36.820 We've lost it.

00:29:37.360 Not to carry stuff around with us wherever we go, like a little blankie when we're, you

00:29:41.900 know, two years old and we have a favorite blanket.

00:29:44.380 That's, that's what my iPad is to me.

00:29:46.600 I can't go anywhere or do anything without it.

00:29:48.600 If, if I accidentally forget it for a second, I'm like, Oh my God, am I naked?

00:29:54.120 No, where's my iPad?

00:29:56.160 Has anybody seen my iPad?

00:29:59.500 Where is it?

00:30:01.720 It's just ridiculous.

00:30:04.320 So now these, but now, yeah, these devices are listening to everything we do.

00:30:09.800 And apparently not when you just say, Hey, Google thing or Amazon thing, turn on, uh, they're

00:30:16.600 apparently always recording.

00:30:18.900 I, I mean, and we found that out a couple of years ago and they were like, Oh yeah, but

00:30:23.760 that's just, uh, we're learning.

00:30:26.160 Uh, that's just a, to listen to conversation so that we can teach language to these devices.

00:30:32.220 Uh huh.

00:30:33.400 Yeah.

00:30:34.160 So they're apparently still doing it and it just stores it and keeps it.

00:30:39.560 And there's going to be a lot of people who say, well, I don't care.

00:30:42.460 I ain't doing nothing wrong in my home.

00:30:44.280 They're just going to be bored to death to hear what I have to say.

00:30:47.180 Man, you're not the one who decides if what you're doing is wrong or not.

00:30:50.740 That's the thing.

00:30:51.580 Yeah.

00:30:52.580 It's interesting too.

00:30:53.480 If you have a, one of these Amazon ones, I know in particular, you can go into the

00:30:57.760 app and hear all the things it's recorded.

00:31:01.060 Like you could go in and like here, you can, yeah.

00:31:03.960 Like you can be, you ever done that?

00:31:05.280 Yeah.

00:31:05.480 It's just, you know, it's kind of funny cause I, you know, my kids will say things to

00:31:09.360 it.

00:31:09.540 And they're really funny cause they just, they just, they'll just ask like, uh, you

00:31:14.000 know, we know how old is, is Bob cause they know someone named Bob and they just, they

00:31:20.760 just assume Alexa is going to answer all of their questions.

00:31:23.220 Like it legitimately, like they, they have this idea that like if sometimes you'll be

00:31:28.020 in the conversation, let me just ask Alexa and you're like, first of all, Alexa is not

00:31:31.720 going to answer that question.

00:31:32.680 That's not how Alexa works.

00:31:33.880 Secondly, why do you think Alexa is smarter than I am?

00:31:36.340 Why don't you, I'm, I'm your dad.

00:31:38.580 You're supposed to at least until 12 think I'm smart and there's a rule and apparently

00:31:44.140 they know better already that, but it is, you see it in them.

00:31:47.420 Like they just like that.

00:31:48.420 Well, there's a solution.

00:31:49.160 It's right there.

00:31:49.700 That little thing that lights up, but occasionally they ask really funny and cute questions and

00:31:54.760 that's what got me started on it.

00:31:55.640 But you can go back and you, you do realize that a lot of times it is, they're not intentional.

00:32:00.560 You'll just hear them just talking in the background.

00:32:02.580 I don't know why it's turned on, you know, maybe there was a word with an X.

00:32:06.340 You know, that they said or a KS and that sounds a little bit like the name of the Amazon device

00:32:12.220 that we are not saying so that we don't alert everybody's and turn it on and, and we could

00:32:18.200 order stuff on your prime account if we wanted to right now, but we will not do that because

00:32:22.820 we're nice.

00:32:24.780 But it is one of those things that it turns, it changes so, so fast and you don't even

00:32:31.540 realize that you, what has happened?

00:32:33.460 I mean, there's just, there's just recording devices all over my house, right?

00:32:36.200 All over my house.

00:32:37.100 And the things that you wouldn't expect, like the Amazon device and the Google device, you'd

00:32:41.960 think, okay, yeah, well, I can see where that might do it.

00:32:44.280 But the Google Nest, that's recording us too.

00:32:47.840 They've got microphones in the Google Nest.

00:32:49.460 That's your thermostat control.

00:32:50.960 Why?

00:32:51.580 Why?

00:32:51.940 Why is that listening to me?

00:32:53.500 Why is that recording me?

00:32:54.880 Why is that keeping, you don't, I don't talk to it.

00:32:58.640 So why would you need to learn from my language on the Google Nest?

00:33:04.220 It's bizarre.

00:33:05.220 It's bizarre.

00:33:05.760 They also have, Nest has these, these smoke detectors.

00:33:10.100 And they, I have, this has been one of the most annoying, the thing that has annoyed

00:33:17.140 me more than anything about the United States of America is basically the fact that these

00:33:21.200 stupid smoke detectors beep and I can't tell which one it is.

00:33:24.160 And I want to have to change the batteries.

00:33:26.240 It's the bane of my existence.

00:33:28.440 It drives me crazy.

00:33:29.940 You'll take the battery out.

00:33:30.960 It'll keep beeping.

00:33:31.460 It keeps beeping.

00:33:32.320 This is not physically possible.

00:33:34.380 What?

00:33:34.520 What do I have to take a shotgun to this thing?

00:33:36.460 How do I stop it?

00:33:37.560 They bend the laws of science.

00:33:39.920 They do.

00:33:40.280 There is no battery and it is not plugged in and it continues to run like a chicken with

00:33:44.620 its head cut off.

00:33:45.700 Bizarre.

00:33:46.420 And so I hate these things so much.

00:33:48.340 Me too.

00:33:48.760 The Nest has them.

00:33:50.880 And of course with Nest, they'll tell you which one is low on batteries on the app.

00:33:55.600 And I don't care if it just continually is taking pictures of me naked and posting them

00:34:01.900 on the internet.

00:34:02.460 If it will tell me what battery is low and where I go to change it, I will put them all

00:34:07.460 in my house.

00:34:08.460 I don't care if it's continually making videos of me on the toilet and posting them to the

00:34:19.400 New York Times website directly.

00:34:21.520 The rest of us care.

00:34:22.620 We care for you.

00:34:24.340 And so we're going to say no.

00:34:25.420 Okay.

00:34:25.700 Well, that particular thing, maybe not, but pretty close.

00:34:28.900 That's pretty much where I am.

00:34:29.780 Half of the late.

00:34:30.320 727.

00:34:31.060 Back.

00:34:33.440 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:34:37.220 That's Pat Gray and Stubergear.

00:34:39.720 You can hear my show right before this one every weekday from 7 to 9 Eastern, 6 to 8 Central

00:34:46.460 or anytime on podcasts.

00:34:48.780 And you can get Stu's anytime, anywhere you get your podcast at Stu Does America.

00:34:55.440 And rate and review these, you know, five stars, and then other people will be able

00:35:00.760 to find them.

00:35:01.780 And I like what you say of it doesn't just help us, it hurts others.

00:35:06.400 Like AOC is really pained when people listen to this podcast.

00:35:10.260 Right.

00:35:10.460 So you have that satisfaction.

00:35:11.660 Yeah, that's a good way of thinking about it.

00:35:13.680 It helps us, but more importantly, it hurts others.

00:35:16.500 Yeah.

00:35:17.400 I like that a lot.

00:35:19.900 By the way, we were talking about the Google devices and Amazon thing.

00:35:24.460 You can turn this function off, apparently.

00:35:29.360 And you have to go to, for Google Assistant, voice recording on a, you go to your desktop

00:35:35.380 or a laptop.

00:35:36.860 It's myactivity.google.com.

00:35:39.140 And make sure you're linked to your Google account, which I don't, I don't even know

00:35:45.980 how I, I don't remember ever linking to a Google account.

00:35:49.880 I got the dumb nest situation.

00:35:52.500 But then from there, you can click on web and app activity, manage activity, filter by

00:35:58.200 date and product, and then voice and audio will come up.

00:36:01.260 And I guess you can delete and turn it off.

00:36:03.980 If it, if you turn it off though, I think your, your Google Assistant won't work properly.

00:36:11.080 So there's that.

00:36:12.660 That's always really convenient.

00:36:14.000 Because if it, if the voice part is turned off, it's not listening to you anymore.

00:36:19.700 And I, I think you have to turn it back on to get it to listen to you, right?

00:36:24.120 Sounds like lots of fun.

00:36:25.360 It does.

00:36:26.560 It does.

00:36:27.140 But there are ways you can, you can deal with it if you have it, or you know what?

00:36:30.420 Just throw it away.

00:36:31.780 Whatever.

00:36:33.060 Uh, 888-727-BECK.

00:36:35.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:38.960 With Pat and Stu.

00:36:39.820 Uh, Glenn returns on Monday.

00:36:44.040 On CNN, Brian Stelter had a guest who made some outrageous climate change claims, uh, comparing

00:36:55.480 it to the Holocaust.

00:36:57.480 Uh, we'll tell you about that and a lot more coming up in one minute.

00:37:05.040 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:07.680 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:09.480 I'm 888-727-BECK.

00:37:13.620 Wow.

00:37:14.420 Uh, this is serious.

00:37:15.980 I mean, if you're not taking, if you haven't been taking, uh, climate change seriously until

00:37:20.380 now, I certainly hope this will, will change your attitude on it.

00:37:24.560 Yeah, it's, uh, this is chilling.

00:37:27.700 Mm-hmm.

00:37:28.700 Brian Stelter had Davis, David Wallace Wells on.

00:37:32.840 And when you have a hyphenated last name like that, you know they're a serious person.

00:37:37.320 They're a real expert.

00:37:38.920 Or you're an assassin.

00:37:40.600 Or that.

00:37:41.340 Yeah, there's two things with the three names.

00:37:43.140 You can either be a very serious person or an assassin.

00:37:45.280 Or lately, you're in the National Football League.

00:37:47.160 There's a lot of hyphenated names.

00:37:48.840 Oh, really?

00:37:48.980 Yeah.

00:37:49.280 Mm-hmm.

00:37:49.500 Um, so David Wallace Wells is quoting estimates that suggest burning of fossil fuels kills

00:37:58.740 10 million people every year.

00:38:02.720 Indeed.

00:38:03.040 Which, which, of course, as he mentioned, is dying on the scale of the Holocaust.

00:38:11.100 How do these people get away with this stuff?

00:38:12.720 I don't know.

00:38:14.160 Where's the, uh, ADL on this?

00:38:17.080 Where, where, where?

00:38:19.100 Because we, I mean, when Glenn was defending people in Israel, uh, and would mention something

00:38:28.960 about Nazis or what, compare what's going on now to what, you know, that we're on the

00:38:34.980 same road or you gotta be careful.

00:38:36.860 They would call him out every single time.

00:38:38.700 Yeah.

00:38:39.320 Now, if it's climate, it's okay, I guess.

00:38:41.500 Yeah, it's fine.

00:38:42.060 Uh, and he says, and yet we don't see many public health stories.

00:38:46.080 We don't see many moral crisis stories addressed to that issue.

00:38:49.760 We don't?

00:38:50.920 What?

00:38:51.200 Are you blind?

00:38:52.160 That's all we see.

00:38:53.540 And by the way, is there any thought, and this is a, I don't know, I don't have an answer

00:38:57.940 to this, Pat.

00:38:58.480 I'm not a scientist.

00:38:59.920 But do we think that fossil fuels have done anything to help people stay alive?

00:39:06.260 Is there another side to this equation?

00:39:08.480 Let's not even bother, uh, uh, attacking the ridiculous claim that fossil fuels killed

00:39:14.200 10 million people a year.

00:39:15.220 I'm quite certain that fossil fuels help maintain the lives of way more than 1 million people

00:39:21.740 a year.

00:39:22.720 What would happen?

00:39:24.680 Go back in time to the pre-fossil fuel era and tell me, in fact, we don't have to go back

00:39:29.680 in time.

00:39:30.160 You can find it in billions of people's lives all across the globe right now who are burning

00:39:34.960 things like dried dung inside their home to cook their food.

00:39:40.020 And that's not good?

00:39:41.080 No.

00:39:41.440 Many of them are dying.

00:39:42.540 It's one of the largest...

00:39:43.700 Dung deaths?

00:39:44.720 ...and wood and biomass inside their homes.

00:39:49.180 It's killing more people than almost anything in the world.

00:39:53.600 So, but let's, let's criticize fossil fuels.

00:39:57.080 Ridiculous.

00:39:57.660 Who have eliminated that problem.

00:39:59.780 Yeah.

00:40:00.040 For multiple billions of people.

00:40:01.960 Stelter began this by saying that meteorologists and journalists are running out of words and

00:40:07.360 ways to describe the impact of climate change.

00:40:10.620 Yeah, they are.

00:40:12.100 Unprecedented just doesn't cut it anymore.

00:40:14.900 Nor does invisible.

00:40:18.580 It's true.

00:40:19.380 Because this is the problem with an issue like global warming if you're an alarmist.

00:40:24.980 You make alarmist claims and you have to say they're coming soon or no one cares, right?

00:40:32.320 Because people are, you know, that's just the human instinct, right?

00:40:34.460 If you say, well, 500 years from now, this could happen.

00:40:36.940 Yeah.

00:40:37.280 Right?

00:40:37.620 So you can't say it like that.

00:40:39.160 You have to say it's within some sort of time frame and you can't say it's tomorrow because

00:40:43.100 everyone will know it didn't happen.

00:40:44.520 Right.

00:40:44.720 So you say it's out in the future and feel like you won't have to pay the price when you're

00:40:48.140 wrong in the future.

00:40:48.900 Although this is in the present, he is claiming, and it's hard to track this down because how

00:40:55.140 do you track down the 10 million people die every year from climate change?

00:41:00.320 Where are you getting that stat?

00:41:01.920 Where is that coming from?

00:41:03.480 Yeah.

00:41:04.060 Who made that estimate and based on what?

00:41:06.860 This is another example of how they do it in the climate, but often you'll hear estimates

00:41:11.920 of how many people will die in heat waves because of the climate.

00:41:14.760 Climate change is coming, going to kill people in heat waves.

00:41:16.800 What, of course, is always left out of this equation is the fact that far more people

00:41:21.400 die from cold than they do from heat.

00:41:23.540 Oh, by far.

00:41:24.800 So if you're just talking about heat deaths, those are way outweighed by people who are

00:41:31.300 not dying from cold.

00:41:33.440 Yeah.

00:41:33.880 Right?

00:41:34.580 So, and this has been, this is in all the UN IPCC documentation.

00:41:40.140 This is not something I'm making up.

00:41:42.200 This is something that scientists say all the time, that for certainly a long period

00:41:46.540 of time, the cold deaths avoided will far outweigh the new deaths caused by heat.

00:41:52.240 But if you go on Brian Stelter's show or any CNN show and say, just say the heat number,

00:41:59.080 no one's going to question it.

00:42:00.480 No one's going to mention the other side of the equation.

00:42:03.140 I mean, how can, how can any coherent person not see that fossil fuels are one of the things

00:42:13.220 that have brought us modern civilization?

00:42:16.340 The fact that we've gone from, we've doubled our life expectancy over the past, you know,

00:42:23.140 a hundred to a couple hundred years.

00:42:24.780 If there's one thing you'd point to, you might point to fossil fuels as the difference in between

00:42:29.480 us doubling our life expectancy.

00:42:31.660 There's been other things and those things are important as well.

00:42:35.840 But fossil fuels are a huge piece of this.

00:42:39.940 Even if you accept the ridiculous claim that fossil fuels are killing 10 million people

00:42:44.940 a year, it would still be worth it.

00:42:47.980 Yeah.

00:42:48.340 Oh, well, yeah.

00:42:49.580 Because we've gone, we've added billions of people.

00:42:52.680 And by the way, look at the people who are arguing against that.

00:42:56.340 The people who didn't want it to happen are the same people who are now telling you that

00:43:00.100 fossil fuels are killing 10 million people a year.

00:43:02.340 The people who didn't want the extra billions of people on the planet.

00:43:05.560 They kept telling you we'd all die if they came.

00:43:08.600 And here we are.

00:43:10.380 You know, this has been, we've been able to feed all of them against all of their advice.

00:43:14.660 We've been able to keep, extend life against all of their advice and warning.

00:43:20.720 And when these claims come up later on, no one holds them accountable.

00:43:26.180 When they are wrong, it's left to us, talk radio on Earth Day, to bring out all the wrong

00:43:33.200 quotes from 20 years ago or 30 years ago or 10 years ago.

00:43:38.300 And that is a, it's an unbelievable situation.

00:43:41.640 It's great work if you can find it.

00:43:43.220 Because you can make all these spectacular claims, raise all your money and never, never

00:43:47.720 be held accountable for when you're wrong ever.

00:43:50.340 Right.

00:43:50.780 And if I may just add one little addendum to the fossil fuel thing, I don't believe they

00:43:55.880 are fossil fuels.

00:43:58.680 Oh yeah.

00:43:59.360 This is a big Pat Gray position.

00:44:01.820 My theory that oil is a recurring natural goo in the Earth.

00:44:08.360 The scientific term is recurring natural goo.

00:44:11.420 There are some scientists who believe this.

00:44:12.840 They're always obviously referred to as fossil fuels.

00:44:16.140 The idea that they come from fossils from long ago.

00:44:19.420 But you've stood on this for a while and there are scientists who believe it.

00:44:24.360 The first time they started talking about peak oil was in 1920.

00:44:29.440 Yeah, we're right up on peak oil here.

00:44:32.240 It's about to run out.

00:44:33.540 Okay, well that didn't happen because we found way more reserves.

00:44:36.260 Then it was the 40s.

00:44:37.960 Oh, we're coming right up on peak oil again.

00:44:39.880 There's not going to be any.

00:44:41.060 We better find something else.

00:44:42.840 And then they found more.

00:44:44.180 And then in the 60s, it's coming right up on peak oil.

00:44:47.780 And peak oil, look it up.

00:44:49.460 It's been over and over and over and over.

00:44:53.080 And now it's just to the point where we found so much that we are now, we now have more oil

00:44:58.560 and gas reserves than any country on Earth.

00:45:01.760 And the peak oil thing is very similar to the environmental thing.

00:45:04.500 It's they continually warn about all these terrible things that are going to happen.

00:45:08.680 They don't happen.

00:45:10.000 And then they just say, well, now we know better.

00:45:12.980 Those those if you call if you actually get in a conversation with an environmentalist and

00:45:17.040 you bring up the quotes from the 70s, 80s, the 90s where they're totally wrong.

00:45:21.960 They will just say, well, yeah, but I mean, it's been 20 years.

00:45:25.740 We've learned a lot since then.

00:45:27.680 It's like, but yeah, but then you never have to pay a price for your wrong statements.

00:45:31.500 Yeah, right.

00:45:31.880 Do you understand that you set up a system in which only you can tell us that you're wrong?

00:45:35.740 Remember when you said Britain was going to be gone like underwater by 2000?

00:45:40.500 Yeah, that didn't happen.

00:45:41.580 If I'm not mistaken, Britain is still there.

00:45:43.740 Remember when you said the West Side Highway in New York City is going to be gone completely

00:45:48.040 underwater?

00:45:49.360 The people are driving on it today, right now.

00:45:52.320 Exactly.

00:45:52.900 Let me give you this one.

00:45:54.560 This is from the New York Times in 1995.

00:45:59.200 They say, quote, at the most likely rate of rise, some experts say most of the beaches

00:46:05.640 on the East Coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years.

00:46:10.240 That would be 2020.

00:46:12.040 Now, if you're on the East Coast, perhaps you could do some reporting for us today.

00:46:15.900 Are there beaches there?

00:46:18.720 Do beaches exist on the East Coast of America?

00:46:23.040 My understanding is that they do.

00:46:24.960 I was in on the East Coast at a beach in 2020.

00:46:29.600 Oh, and it was still there.

00:46:31.280 Now, I don't know.

00:46:31.780 Maybe they just got it off by a year and they've disappeared the last couple of months since

00:46:34.580 I've been there.

00:46:35.640 But my understanding is that beaches still exist on the East Coast of the United States.

00:46:41.180 No one.

00:46:41.880 The New York Times doesn't write a follow up about this story.

00:46:45.600 They don't come back later on and say, by the way, do you believe we wrote this thing

00:46:49.120 25 years ago?

00:46:49.980 Isn't this funny?

00:46:51.120 Like they do with the Internet.

00:46:52.420 Occasionally, you'll see this like they'll be like, look at our stupid article from 1991

00:46:56.820 about the Internet and how it won't be.

00:46:58.620 It won't make any difference.

00:46:59.720 Right.

00:47:00.240 Like they'll come back and revisit.

00:47:01.440 They don't do that with climate.

00:47:02.820 They only do it to excuse the reasons why they were actually right all of this time.

00:47:08.860 And actually, it's worse than they even said back then.

00:47:12.760 Let me give you another one of more recent.

00:47:14.800 All right.

00:47:15.260 Do we have time for this yet?

00:47:16.460 OK.

00:47:16.620 So what was the panic before COVID?

00:47:21.040 Can you remember the panic that occurred before COVID?

00:47:25.980 It's hard to remember this panic because there's been a lot of panicking during COVID.

00:47:30.320 But before COVID, one of the more recent panics was in the summer of 2000, between 2019 and

00:47:37.160 2020, where Australia was on fire.

00:47:40.780 Yeah.

00:47:41.140 Do you remember this?

00:47:42.320 This was the big thing.

00:47:44.040 Australia is on fire.

00:47:45.240 The whole country is burning down.

00:47:47.220 It's because of global warming.

00:47:49.240 No one's ever seen anything like this.

00:47:50.840 There were fundraisers on television like crazy.

00:47:53.280 No one had ever seen such a terrible thing happen to Australia.

00:47:57.560 And it's all because you're driving an SUV.

00:48:00.640 So now, months and months later, we have the actual data from the Australian fires.

00:48:07.100 Now, you can understand why maybe people aren't focusing on that with all this COVID going

00:48:11.280 around, but it's important to revisit these things when we get the data.

00:48:16.260 So during the 20th century, about every year in Australia, about 10% of the surface area

00:48:22.440 catches on fire.

00:48:24.380 Every year?

00:48:24.700 Yes.

00:48:25.000 Throughout the 20th century, that's average.

00:48:26.560 About 10%.

00:48:27.560 Huh.

00:48:28.200 OK.

00:48:28.500 Now, we are told, of course, that global warming is going to make this much, much worse.

00:48:32.920 Mm-hmm.

00:48:33.400 Obviously.

00:48:34.460 Well, in the 21st century so far, the number has been, instead of 10, 6.

00:48:40.940 So it's gone from 10% to 6%.

00:48:42.440 It's fallen by 40% in the 21st century.

00:48:46.440 Now, we are told that global warming is going to make these things much, much worse.

00:48:50.160 Now, obviously, 2019 and 2020 was a terrible year, as we know.

00:48:54.100 This is the year that it was really, really bad and worse than ever before.

00:48:57.320 98%.

00:48:57.620 Yeah.

00:48:58.000 And it wasn't 10%.

00:48:59.000 It wasn't 6%.

00:49:00.240 98, 99, somewhere in there.

00:49:02.780 No.

00:49:03.240 No.

00:49:03.860 No.

00:49:04.080 3.95% of the country burned.

00:49:07.220 It was one of the lowest percentages on record in history.

00:49:12.140 We have the chart up here, if you happen to be watching, blazedv.com slash Glenn.

00:49:16.740 Promo code is Glenn, by the way, if you want to save some cash.

00:49:18.640 But basically, we're showing the actual amount of it falling from about 10, 11, 12% in the

00:49:25.300 early part of the 20th century down to-

00:49:27.520 That's incredible.

00:49:28.000 3.95%.

00:49:29.360 Incredible.

00:49:30.000 Now.

00:49:30.440 Now, climatologists do say that there will be an increase in these fires, whether they're

00:49:37.180 right or not, who knows.

00:49:38.440 But if you see, Pat, if you can see, they had the line here a second ago with the yellow

00:49:42.400 line on the chart.

00:49:43.220 You see, the yellow line is the predictions of what's coming in the future.

00:49:47.060 Now, the past is a giant decrease from these really high levels down to 3.95%.

00:49:53.660 And basically, what the climate, all the climate models are predicting are for it to rise slightly

00:49:59.760 from this really low period in history.

00:50:02.020 So, basically, what they're saying is, instead of it being 4% or 5% like it is now, it may

00:50:08.380 go up to 6%.

00:50:09.700 But 6% is still half of what it used to be.

00:50:13.880 And then, of course, doesn't include all of the innovations and things we will learn to

00:50:17.860 fight the fires and lower the overall burn.

00:50:20.920 Long story short, is that these things are presented as catastrophes, and they're not

00:50:27.200 even back to half as bad as it used to be.

00:50:30.620 The only difference between the fires in Australia in 2019 and 2020 is they occurred closer to

00:50:37.820 where people lived.

00:50:39.560 They started by lightning, and that lightning hit areas that were closer to where people

00:50:45.360 lived, so they noticed them more.

00:50:46.700 And lightning only happens because of climate change.

00:50:49.940 No.

00:50:50.260 Lightning didn't happen in the past, right?

00:50:52.860 No.

00:50:53.160 No?

00:50:53.920 Not true.

00:50:54.780 By the way, the global, do we have the, yeah, this is a global area burn from 1901 to 1920.

00:50:59.520 Same story, right, Pat?

00:51:00.640 I mean, you see the drop is dramatic.

00:51:02.660 Huge.

00:51:03.060 It's been dropping much faster since 2000.

00:51:06.240 And this is all the opposite of what they told us would happen with climate change.

00:51:11.940 That's unbelievable.

00:51:13.100 888-727-BECK.

00:51:16.700 After a year unlike any other we've experienced, we all deserve some summer fun.

00:52:27.900 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:52:41.820 You know, the global warming situation, the climate change situation, is incredible because they tell us.

00:52:50.340 A lot of these experts just tell us from time to time what they're doing.

00:52:54.680 And they admit that, yeah, we've got to be alarmist to get people activated here and to help them understand how dire this situation is.

00:53:05.640 So we don't mind telling them it's worse than it really is.

00:53:10.000 I mean, they admit to that from time to time.

00:53:12.880 Well, on CNN with Brian Stelter, this David Wallace Wells, said the media must remain in an alarmist state while reporting on climate change.

00:53:24.320 We can't shy away from scary projections about the future or the scary facts as we're living them today.

00:53:32.360 Start thinking a little harder.

00:53:34.340 Be a little clearer in our storytelling.

00:53:38.520 Learning to live in this new future, which will continue to get worse, probably considerably worse from here, is not just going to require decarbonizing.

00:53:49.280 Decarbonizing, although that's very hard.

00:53:52.540 So what they're trying to do is really shut down economies across the planet.

00:53:57.960 And it's despicable what is happening.

00:54:02.360 And they are just ramping up the rhetoric here to try to scare people.

00:54:10.160 And the people they're scaring are our kids.

00:54:12.360 They're just scared out of their minds because they're getting this indoctrination in the school system.

00:54:17.460 And then they turn on media and see it there.

00:54:19.700 And they wholeheartedly believe that the world is going to end in 10 years.

00:54:25.260 And nobody, no legitimate person is actually saying that.

00:54:29.740 As, you know, Michael Schellenberger mentioned in his book, Apocalypse Never, as he's trying to calm down these alarmist people and say that there's nobody who's really, there's no reasonable person who is making the statement that the world is on the edge of extinction.

00:54:52.020 That's just not, that's not true.

00:54:54.580 Nobody is saying that.

00:54:55.820 Yeah, he, I think it was Michael Schellenberger's book where they go over some of these extreme environmentalist groups and talk about why, how they're saying.

00:55:06.300 He actually just interviews them.

00:55:08.280 He actually interviews the people from these organizations.

00:55:11.000 What I loved about him is that he went to the people that everybody was citing.

00:55:15.200 Yeah.

00:55:15.640 Well, the IPCC says that.

00:55:18.680 And so he went to the IPCC.

00:55:19.980 He went to find the actual scientists who they say said it.

00:55:22.680 And he talked to them.

00:55:23.840 The actual scientist.

00:55:24.860 And he asked them.

00:55:25.860 And they said, thank you so much for coming to ask me.

00:55:27.920 No, that's not true at all.

00:55:29.080 That's not what I said.

00:55:30.320 Really, legitimately.

00:55:31.300 I have never said that.

00:55:32.140 Yeah.

00:55:32.800 Yeah.

00:55:33.180 Legitimately, multiple times in this book.

00:55:35.400 Multiple times.

00:55:35.880 He actually goes to the scientists.

00:55:37.680 And, you know, Michael Schellenberger is not us.

00:55:40.140 He's not Pat and Stu.

00:55:41.160 He's not Glenn Beck.

00:55:42.260 Oh, this guy's a scientist.

00:55:43.540 He's been doing it for 30 years.

00:55:44.800 He's been an activist for this for a very long time.

00:55:47.940 On the other side, really.

00:55:48.820 Yeah.

00:55:49.360 And so he has real credibility with many of these scientists who are familiar with his

00:55:55.680 work over the years.

00:55:57.120 And the book is fantastic.

00:55:58.160 But he goes and he talks to these people.

00:55:59.860 And he's like, hey, like everyone's saying that you said we're all going to die in 10

00:56:03.660 years.

00:56:04.180 Did you say that?

00:56:05.560 And they're like, thank you for asking me.

00:56:07.440 No, I didn't say that.

00:56:08.940 Like, it's that it's that clear.

00:56:10.660 Yeah, it is.

00:56:11.140 It's that clear.

00:56:11.720 It's the actual people the media is citing about these claims who tell Michael Schellenberger

00:56:16.820 routinely over and over again that they he did not they did not say that they did not

00:56:21.480 mean that they're taken out of context.

00:56:23.800 That's not this is being misused by everybody.

00:56:26.760 It really is an incredible thing.

00:56:28.600 Of course, does that get any media coverage?

00:56:30.440 No.

00:56:30.940 How?

00:56:31.880 How is my question?

00:56:33.780 It's a good question.

00:56:35.420 And it doesn't fit their agenda.

00:56:39.460 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:56:41.720 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:56:46.940 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B, E, C, K.

00:56:50.440 Stubergear may have convinced me to go ahead and break down.

00:56:57.800 Oh, no.

00:56:58.720 Perhaps get the vaccine.

00:56:59.900 Oh, no.

00:57:00.620 I would never.

00:57:01.760 I don't.

00:57:01.980 Now, if I grow a tail or a third eye from this thing, you know, or drop dead 15 minutes

00:57:08.720 after.

00:57:09.660 Yeah.

00:57:09.980 I'm pretty sure it wasn't because I was just going to drop dead.

00:57:13.220 I'm pretty sure it will be the vaccine.

00:57:15.440 Now, I know you'll be to blame.

00:57:17.060 And you'll need to, first of all, exploit my death.

00:57:21.520 And then, but also admit to the fact that you killed me.

00:57:25.320 Now, do you, do you, do you think it's, would you use the word blame or credit?

00:57:29.820 What word would you use?

00:57:31.700 Well, I would use the word blame.

00:57:33.700 Others may, may take credit.

00:57:37.060 That's because, look, there's a lot of people out there that are trying to take you out.

00:57:41.700 And maybe I'm working for one of them.

00:57:44.220 You know, you have a lot of enemies.

00:57:46.380 That is possible.

00:57:47.640 Yes, that's true.

00:57:49.060 It's been a long, you've had a long career.

00:57:52.100 You've pissed off a lot of people.

00:57:53.740 A lot of people.

00:57:54.480 Really, it only takes one of them to get to me to encourage you to do something that's

00:57:57.680 going to make you explode.

00:57:58.880 Yeah.

00:57:59.260 And maybe I've done that.

00:58:00.360 You came up with a lot of statistics because I said during the course of the show yesterday

00:58:05.080 that I am among the, those who could be convinced to, to receive the vaccine.

00:58:11.240 I'm, I'm not anti-vax.

00:58:13.780 No, you've never been, you've never been.

00:58:15.560 I'm just, I'm hesitant about it because we get stories every day about people who've had

00:58:20.340 some sort of side effect and it, you know, it causes you pause.

00:58:23.820 Well, not you, cause you already got the vaccine.

00:58:26.640 But, but since I said yesterday on the air that I'm persuadable,

00:58:30.360 you came up with all these stats.

00:58:32.900 You can't say that to me.

00:58:34.620 You did some research on this.

00:58:35.760 You did a little research, didn't you?

00:58:38.180 Now, is this from a show you've done?

00:58:39.900 Cause you've.

00:58:41.420 No, I mean, it's parts of it have been from shows that I've done.

00:58:44.600 But I just laid out a case.

00:58:47.080 Like, I just feel like, you know, look, there are two sides to this.

00:58:51.200 You know, I know you get the side from your wonderful producer who I love, Keith,

00:58:55.780 who basically gives you a YouTube video every day to convince you.

00:58:59.980 At least one.

00:59:00.320 At least.

00:59:00.780 Sometimes 100.

00:59:01.560 At some point you're going to have a tail.

00:59:03.240 Yeah.

00:59:03.660 Or something.

00:59:04.340 I'm probably a metallic tail from what I understand.

00:59:07.540 Yes.

00:59:08.040 And I just think that, you know.

00:59:09.660 I will stick to the theory that, or not the theory, but the evidence that, that magnets

00:59:15.640 will stick to people's vaccination site.

00:59:18.140 Some people's.

00:59:19.380 Okay.

00:59:19.760 Because I've seen it.

00:59:20.620 Okay.

00:59:21.220 I've seen it.

00:59:21.780 Okay.

00:59:22.840 Now, I, as we know, of course, President Trump did, led this effort.

00:59:29.600 It was a big part of his re-election campaign.

00:59:31.520 I just heard an interview with him the other day where he was still talking about how proud

00:59:34.680 he was of developing the vaccines that are wiping the pandemic off the map.

00:59:41.140 And he was also vaccinated.

00:59:42.340 And he was.

00:59:42.820 That's an important thing.

00:59:44.060 It is.

00:59:44.540 President Trump does not have a tail from my understanding, though, someone did accuse

00:59:48.060 him of wearing his pants backward.

00:59:49.140 Maybe that is why he was doing it.

00:59:51.960 Now, and now there's no evidence.

00:59:53.600 It was a delayed reaction from the vaccine.

00:59:55.920 It was just a one day thing.

00:59:57.800 It could be.

00:59:58.540 Maybe.

00:59:58.920 Yes.

00:59:59.420 So I, well, actually, what I, and what I said to you in the, in the email was not necessarily

01:00:04.800 even a case for the average person to go get the vaccine.

01:00:08.020 Just that.

01:00:08.360 No, you were targeting me.

01:00:09.540 You are uniquely not a borderline case.

01:00:12.060 Right.

01:00:12.260 Because you are, first of all, not a spring chicken anymore.

01:00:16.820 Number one, his big, his big and bold number one point.

01:00:21.300 Yeah.

01:00:21.540 You're not as young and supple as you used to be.

01:00:24.420 Right.

01:00:24.640 And I don't want to say that you're not supple at all.

01:00:26.840 I mean, you're certainly supple at some level.

01:00:29.520 Just not as supple as I once was.

01:00:30.860 Not quite as supple as you used to be.

01:00:32.840 All right.

01:00:33.200 Because, and that's just saying, like, you might still be above average in the amount

01:00:37.380 of supple that you are, but you were maybe a little higher.

01:00:40.700 So I love how you, you note that I'm, you know, somebody in my age group, 50 to 64, is

01:00:49.460 440 times as likely to die as a younger person.

01:00:55.300 Thank you.

01:00:56.060 That is true.

01:00:56.640 Now, as you noted correctly, by the way, and we've made this point a million times, your

01:01:01.960 chances of dying if you're a young person are not high.

01:01:04.660 Right.

01:01:05.180 Right.

01:01:05.420 We just know that when you're an older person, they are high.

01:01:08.460 Yes.

01:01:08.760 Right.

01:01:09.280 But still, if someone in your age group is about as likely to die, about one third is

01:01:14.840 likely to die.

01:01:15.780 One third as someone in like their seventies.

01:01:18.380 Mm-hmm.

01:01:19.060 Now, again, you're not a spring chicken anymore.

01:01:21.340 Mm-hmm.

01:01:21.520 You know, people keep throwing out this like.

01:01:22.940 But I'm not in my seventies.

01:01:23.540 You're not in your seventies, but you know how dangerous it is for people in their seventies.

01:01:27.020 And if it was just your age, maybe you could make an argument.

01:01:31.000 But it's not.

01:01:31.560 And that then comes point number two, which he actually alleges that I'm somewhat athletically

01:01:39.420 overweight.

01:01:40.080 A tad.

01:01:41.580 I'm just saying that.

01:01:42.820 Wow.

01:01:44.100 Wow.

01:01:44.480 Maybe.

01:01:44.760 And I put myself in the same category here.

01:01:46.880 We're not exactly.

01:01:49.180 Not in peak physical condition.

01:01:51.160 Perhaps.

01:01:51.900 Perhaps.

01:01:52.500 Perhaps.

01:01:52.960 I'm just throwing that out there.

01:01:54.580 But as everyone knows, if you're a little athletically overweight, you got a worse chance.

01:02:00.920 You have a worse chance.

01:02:01.880 With COVID.

01:02:02.800 Now, you in particular, number three.

01:02:04.920 Yes.

01:02:05.280 I think is an obvious point that many in the audience may not be dealing with.

01:02:08.640 It's this.

01:02:09.780 You've had, you know, cancer.

01:02:15.000 Thank you.

01:02:15.760 You're welcome.

01:02:16.220 For that reminder.

01:02:17.380 I thought you might have forgotten.

01:02:18.980 Thus, the, you know, the scar here, the here.

01:02:23.060 But like, it's not like you've had one kind of cancer.

01:02:26.760 No, I've had, I have two.

01:02:28.000 Two kinds of cancer.

01:02:29.440 Two kinds.

01:02:30.180 Like, two different brands of cancer.

01:02:32.320 It's not just the one delivery of cancer.

01:02:34.560 You've had, like, both the McDonald's and the Burger King of cancer.

01:02:38.160 Yes.

01:02:38.760 You have two different kinds.

01:02:40.740 Yes.

01:02:40.940 Now, I didn't calculate the odds of your situation with multiple kinds of cancer.

01:02:47.180 No, but you did just combine the three factors above.

01:02:50.240 The not being as supple.

01:02:51.700 So, my age group.

01:02:53.000 Your age group.

01:02:53.720 Weight.

01:02:54.240 Your weight.

01:02:55.040 And health issues.

01:02:56.160 And, you know, your cancer.

01:02:58.400 So, Pat Gray's survival rate is about the same as an average 75 to 80-year-old.

01:03:05.240 Thank you.

01:03:06.320 Thank you.

01:03:06.980 So, that's.

01:03:07.880 It's not great, Pat.

01:03:09.080 That's not great.

01:03:09.760 That's not great news.

01:03:10.920 That's not great.

01:03:11.380 It's not great news.

01:03:12.440 No, it isn't.

01:03:13.120 So, I mean, I think, like, we always talk about this.

01:03:15.400 And I think conservatives have talked about this for a long time.

01:03:18.240 And that, you know, look, people should be able to make their own decisions.

01:03:21.280 Maybe the most vulnerable should be the ones getting the vaccine first and protecting themselves.

01:03:25.880 And maybe you leave a supple 27-year-old to make their decision.

01:03:32.380 And it might be a little bit different.

01:03:33.860 You, however, because of your additional effects, are actually a much older person.

01:03:41.380 You should think of yourself as 80.

01:03:43.080 On a COVID scale.

01:03:44.040 I should be.

01:03:44.680 You should think of yourself.

01:03:45.520 I'm like 80.

01:03:45.940 I'm Pat Gray.

01:03:46.960 I'm an 80-year-old.

01:03:48.120 Should I get the COVID vaccine?

01:03:49.580 I think that should change your mind a little bit.

01:03:51.900 Or at least change your perspective a little bit.

01:03:53.080 Which brings us to point number four.

01:03:54.540 It's not just death we have to think about here.

01:03:57.820 It's hospitalization and getting a really severe case of it, right?

01:04:01.720 Yeah.

01:04:02.220 And I think I have between a 15% and 35% chance of being hospitalized if I get COVID.

01:04:07.220 Thank you, Stu.

01:04:08.040 You're welcome.

01:04:08.620 You should.

01:04:08.940 It's really good.

01:04:09.760 And look, you probably will survive it.

01:04:11.920 That's the good news.

01:04:13.200 You'll probably just go to the hospital.

01:04:14.700 But after a really rough stretch.

01:04:16.500 Yes, it'll suck, but you'll probably walk out at the end.

01:04:19.780 So, good on you.

01:04:24.080 Then, number five.

01:04:25.800 Point number five.

01:04:27.320 You're way less likely to die from the vaccine than from COVID.

01:04:31.620 Yes.

01:04:32.180 This is true.

01:04:33.180 Especially for you.

01:04:34.340 I mean, you're a freaking disaster as we've covered.

01:04:38.800 Sweet of you to say.

01:04:39.880 Thank you.

01:04:40.300 You're welcome.

01:04:40.740 I'm just trying to help.

01:04:41.540 There have been false reports of up to 3,000 people dying from the vaccine.

01:04:47.160 This is not true, you say.

01:04:49.160 It is not true.

01:04:50.060 It is not true.

01:04:50.680 But even if it weren't true.

01:04:51.340 I've actually heard it's 4,000, 4 to 6,000.

01:04:54.380 No?

01:04:54.700 No.

01:04:55.180 No.

01:04:55.560 I mean, we could go through all the details of this.

01:04:57.640 Well, what about the VAERS portion of the CDC website?

01:05:01.000 Well, currently on VAERS, there is a case of a one-year-old who got the vaccine.

01:05:06.760 And that one-year-old then died.

01:05:09.280 And that's terrible, right?

01:05:10.580 It is.

01:05:10.960 The one problem, or multiple problems, is one-year-olds can't get the vaccine.

01:05:14.960 It would be illegal.

01:05:16.080 And secondly, the way they died is they committed suicide with a gun.

01:05:19.900 The one-year-old?

01:05:20.680 Yes.

01:05:21.420 So the theory was...

01:05:22.380 Usually they don't get that depressed at one.

01:05:24.400 No.

01:05:24.960 You know?

01:05:25.340 You know, they're usually more optimistic, I've found, at one.

01:05:28.220 But this particular one-year-old somehow weaseled their way to get the vaccine and then shot themselves

01:05:33.300 with a gun and suicide.

01:05:35.100 How does that show up on the VAERS website?

01:05:37.280 The VAERS thing is basically like...

01:05:38.580 I mean, look, there's really good uses for VAERS.

01:05:40.140 It's not a terrible system.

01:05:41.820 And it helps you catch some of these side effects.

01:05:43.960 But also, anyone can submit anything.

01:05:46.520 So, like, there's been cases where people have submitted that I took a vaccine and it turned

01:05:50.740 me into the Incredible Hulk.

01:05:52.480 And that made it onto the VAERS website.

01:05:54.840 Legitimately, the Incredible Hulk.

01:05:56.940 Those words.

01:05:57.600 You know, anybody can do it.

01:05:59.920 And obviously, there's a lot of passion on both sides about the vaccine thing.

01:06:02.420 I mean, I'm not trying to, you know, all that.

01:06:05.520 But my point, though, is that even, let's just say it was 4,000 to 6,000.

01:06:08.520 In the same time period, 250,000 people died from COVID.

01:06:12.820 Yeah.

01:06:13.040 Right?

01:06:13.240 Like, it's not...

01:06:13.980 Again, you can make a different argument if you maybe are like me and had COVID-19 and

01:06:19.660 I am a COVID-19 survivor.

01:06:21.520 If you are a young person, like, there's other arguments.

01:06:24.180 When you're Pat Gray, who's basically you should now think of as an 80-year-old.

01:06:28.600 Pat Gray, eight decades into life.

01:06:32.160 Wow.

01:06:32.480 Yeah.

01:06:32.680 You know, it's a different calculation, I think.

01:06:36.160 And that's why, by the way, and we have a lot of seasoned, well-seasoned audience members

01:06:41.180 out there who might be over 65.

01:06:44.960 Over 65 in this particular country, we're at 88.4% vaccinated.

01:06:50.480 I mean, most people realize if you're in that age group...

01:06:52.700 You get vaccinated.

01:06:53.400 You're probably going to wind up doing it.

01:06:54.660 Yeah.

01:06:55.760 Point number six from Stupor Gear.

01:06:58.240 Your risk from the vaccine is far lower than your risk from COVID.

01:07:01.480 Even if you factor in the possibility you might luck out and avoid the virus.

01:07:05.580 Yeah, because I think there's a thing of...

01:07:07.180 Okay, I know that the vaccine is less...

01:07:10.680 It's not bad for me in comparison to actually getting COVID, but I don't have COVID.

01:07:15.400 Maybe I'll avoid it.

01:07:16.520 Right.

01:07:16.840 Which I have so far.

01:07:17.860 Right.

01:07:18.080 You have avoided it this entire time.

01:07:19.780 Mm-hmm.

01:07:20.760 If you factor in the risk that you will not get it, you're still 239 times as likely to

01:07:28.060 go to the ICU than to have a serious harm from the vaccine.

01:07:32.660 239 times.

01:07:34.260 Okay.

01:07:34.320 Now, that includes the idea that serious harms from the vaccine, which they're comparing

01:07:39.220 this to, is an allergic reaction to a very typical vaccine ingredient, which if you've

01:07:45.200 never...

01:07:45.540 I don't know how much you've been vaccinated in the past, but if you've never had a reaction

01:07:48.640 like that before, you're unlikely to have it now.

01:07:51.080 Okay.

01:07:51.180 This is why, if anyone who's out there who's got the vaccine, they make you sit around for

01:07:55.380 about 15 minutes afterward to make sure you don't...

01:07:57.840 What ingredient is it that people are allergic to?

01:07:59.760 I don't have the name of it in front of me.

01:08:02.100 But that's what I've wondered, because I've never seen what's actually in the vaccine.

01:08:06.380 Mm-hmm.

01:08:07.120 And so...

01:08:07.780 I could...

01:08:08.300 I mean, I'd have to look at...

01:08:09.240 I'd have to look it up.

01:08:09.700 They think it's just a particular...

01:08:11.340 One particular ingredient.

01:08:12.520 That's been the major, quote, unquote, serious harms.

01:08:14.740 This one, this particular study that I'm talking about was from the AstraZeneca situation, which

01:08:19.820 is very similar to the Johnson & Johnson one that we have here.

01:08:22.940 With the blood clots?

01:08:23.700 Same thing.

01:08:24.760 Yeah, the blood clots.

01:08:25.940 That was the effect of...

01:08:30.960 That was mostly young women who had that issue, and now that they know about it, luckily,

01:08:35.780 they're able to treat it really easily.

01:08:37.240 It's not a difficult thing to treat if it pops up.

01:08:39.440 It pops up about seven in a million cases.

01:08:42.720 Wow.

01:08:42.920 So, it's very, very incredibly rare, obviously, but still something to be concerned.

01:08:47.160 I mean, look, you should always be concerned about any particular side effect.

01:08:51.460 However, these numbers, 239 times as likely to go to the ICU, is of the belief, number

01:08:57.740 one, that it is...

01:09:00.540 We are at rates, even with our low rates here in the United States, upspread at this moment.

01:09:04.740 We're still double what this study looked at.

01:09:09.020 So, we have high...

01:09:11.040 It's more than 239 times as likely.

01:09:14.040 In addition to that, one of the things that I think has been hidden among...

01:09:18.880 And this is a positive, by the way.

01:09:20.640 It's been hidden among the great decrease in numbers.

01:09:23.540 95% in deaths have dropped since our peaks here in the United States.

01:09:28.760 Those only...

01:09:29.940 That measures everybody.

01:09:30.880 So, the rates have gone way down for the country, but a good chunk of the reason for that is

01:09:36.020 about 90% of our elderly have been vaccinated.

01:09:39.440 So, they're not dying as much.

01:09:41.060 Cases...

01:09:41.620 That's, you know, two-thirds of adults have been vaccinated.

01:09:44.080 So, there's not as many cases out there.

01:09:46.060 The rates among people who don't have the vaccine are still pretty decent.

01:09:52.660 I mean, they're not nearly as low as you think they are, because almost all the people who

01:09:57.780 are getting COVID and having issues with it are the people who do not have the vaccine

01:10:01.940 at this point.

01:10:03.680 And that was my belief.

01:10:05.620 And again, I understand.

01:10:07.020 And it's important to note to everyone, and Pat, you'll back me up on this, I think.

01:10:10.780 I do not believe the government should be mandating this.

01:10:13.560 I do not want Joe Biden coming door to door to tell me how wonderful it is.

01:10:17.040 I don't want any of that crap.

01:10:18.600 Leave us alone.

01:10:19.280 Let us make our own decisions.

01:10:20.240 But, that being said, right now, we have two groups in this country.

01:10:27.420 People who've had the vaccine, people who haven't had the vaccine.

01:10:29.900 They're about 50-50 splits, roughly.

01:10:32.240 I mean, it's not exactly 50-50, but it's about 50-50.

01:10:35.100 Right now, 99.2% of the deaths are people who are unvaccinated.

01:10:42.080 99.2% of the deaths.

01:10:44.220 Again, these are equal groups of people.

01:10:45.700 And, hospitalizations, 99.9% of people in the hospital are unvaccinated.

01:10:53.220 So, even if you've been vaccinated, and you get COVID-19,

01:10:57.200 the vaccine usually causes the virus to do less damage.

01:11:05.200 Yes.

01:11:05.540 Right?

01:11:05.760 It's less severe.

01:11:06.720 Yeah.

01:11:06.860 And, like, you know, it's tough because cases are weird, as we've noted from the beginning, right?

01:11:11.340 Some people, I had an asymptomatic case of COVID.

01:11:14.300 So, like, I might not have known, if not for certain circumstances, mainly the person who gave it to me,

01:11:19.880 finding out they tested positive, so I had to get a test.

01:11:22.020 Right?

01:11:22.140 I probably wouldn't even have known.

01:11:23.480 Mm-hmm.

01:11:23.740 But, and so cases are difficult, but if you go to the hospital, they're going to know whether you're vaccinated or not.

01:11:30.860 You're going to, you're going to have the vaccination records, it's going to be in your health records, they're going to know.

01:11:35.420 And so, when people get hospitalized for COVID, they're finding out 99.9% of them are unvaccinated.

01:11:42.700 Wow.

01:11:43.060 So, again, it's up to you to take risks on both sides of this.

01:11:46.180 But, I just wanted to harass Pat, because it was your fault.

01:11:49.060 You're the one that said you were persuadable.

01:11:50.560 And you did.

01:11:51.360 888-727-BECK.

01:11:53.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:11:58.100 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on The Glenn Beck Program.

01:12:01.000 888-727-BECK.

01:12:03.380 Where do you stand on the Britney Spears thing now?

01:12:05.980 Did you watch the New York Times documentary on her?

01:12:08.560 Yeah.

01:12:08.880 Yeah, I did too.

01:12:09.660 Yeah.

01:12:10.040 They just made you feel really bad for anything you've ever said about Britney Spears, basically.

01:12:14.520 Yes.

01:12:15.960 Yes.

01:12:16.860 She went through a lot.

01:12:17.880 Including the things that they said about Britney Spears, by the way, at the time.

01:12:21.340 Exactly.

01:12:21.860 Which they don't mention, but yeah.

01:12:23.740 Everybody was tough on that.

01:12:25.560 A lot of those stories now come back with new eyes and don't look quite as simple.

01:12:30.500 Yeah.

01:12:30.720 But apparently, according to lawyers, it's almost impossible to get out of these.

01:12:34.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:12:41.340 San Francisco.

01:12:42.580 Oh, what a beautiful city.

01:12:46.020 Man, do they run that city well, too.

01:12:47.800 They've got their finger on the pulse of what makes a great city great.

01:12:53.340 And we'll get into some of the greatness of San Francisco and what's going on there.

01:12:58.180 Coming up in 60 seconds.

01:12:59.540 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:08.160 You can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday right before this or anytime, anywhere you get podcasts.

01:13:16.700 Stu has a show as well, which is called Stu Does America.

01:13:21.360 That's right.

01:13:22.740 That's what I do every night.

01:13:24.340 Every night, I'm doing you, America, and you can be there for it.

01:13:27.720 It's really enjoyable, I promise.

01:13:30.220 Huh.

01:13:31.420 Because it doesn't...

01:13:32.740 Sometimes people are not willing to be done.

01:13:35.820 Right.

01:13:35.940 And usually that's criminal.

01:13:37.660 But in this particular case, it's okay.

01:13:39.940 All right.

01:13:40.600 I've got a pass from the government.

01:13:42.100 Wow.

01:13:43.400 Special dispensation.

01:13:44.800 That's good.

01:13:45.260 There you go.

01:13:45.980 All right.

01:13:46.300 You can get the shows, by the way, on the YouTube pages as well.

01:13:49.040 YouTube.com slash Stu Does America.

01:13:50.780 I assume...

01:13:51.640 Is it YouTube.com slash Pat Unleashed?

01:13:53.820 Just search for Pat Gray Unleashed.

01:13:55.200 That's what you do.

01:13:55.860 You'll find it.

01:13:56.380 Yeah.

01:13:56.820 Mm-hmm.

01:13:57.900 All right.

01:13:58.920 Target and Walgreens are making some drastic changes.

01:14:01.500 We talked about this a little bit yesterday.

01:14:03.540 But according to the California Retailers Association, three cities in California are among the top 10 in the country when it comes to organized retail crime.

01:14:13.060 So, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento.

01:14:17.580 Mm-hmm.

01:14:18.940 Already they're seeing the negative impact that San Francisco is experiencing with stores permanently shutting down or closing early because they can't keep their merchandise in the store.

01:14:31.500 And it's not because people are paying for it and leaving with it.

01:14:34.300 They're just leaving with it and not paying for it.

01:14:37.060 It's like 100% off sale at Neiman Marcus and Target stores and Walgreens.

01:14:41.720 And Target has now acknowledged San Francisco is the only city in America where they've decided to close some stores early because of the escalating retail crime.

01:14:53.940 For more than a month, they've seen a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at their San Francisco stores.

01:15:01.520 And Target's not the only store in San Francisco making these drastic changes because of the continual shoplifting.

01:15:10.240 After 10 o'clock, 7-Eleven in San Francisco in multiple locations is shutting down.

01:15:17.800 Or you have to ring first.

01:15:20.100 You ring a bell to let somebody know that you're coming in.

01:15:22.940 And then they let you in.

01:15:24.360 I mean, between this and the human excrement on the streets and the sidewalks, you know, the piles of poop, human poop, and the homeless tents and the homeless cities.

01:15:39.960 I wonder if San Francisco residents are starting to think, huh, should we try something else?

01:15:47.400 Yeah, we've been doing it the Democrat way for 60 years, and it doesn't seem to be paying dividends.

01:15:56.160 I wonder if maybe we should try something else.

01:15:59.960 I always thought this was a fascinating thing.

01:16:01.500 You know, President Trump said this type of thing over and over again during the campaign, I think in 2016, but certainly as we approach 2020.

01:16:11.320 Like, what about trying something else?

01:16:13.160 Like, it doesn't seem like a crazy point here.

01:16:15.660 No, it doesn't.

01:16:16.160 We all recognize that many of these areas have been massive, continual, systemic, chronic failures.

01:16:25.480 Yeah.

01:16:25.640 And they've all been governed by the same party the whole time.

01:16:32.580 Name a city that has a really serious problem like San Francisco does with crime and quality of life diminishing and maybe even huge swaths of city being taken over by some other element like Antifa.

01:16:47.720 And what do they all have in common?

01:16:50.740 They're all Democrat-run cities, every single one of them.

01:16:54.620 Yeah.

01:16:54.980 Wouldn't you get the hint after a while?

01:16:57.340 Wouldn't you say, hey, maybe we shouldn't have a Democrat mayor and a Democrat city council and Democrats running every aspect of the city.

01:17:08.380 Maybe we should try something else.

01:17:11.640 It's incredible to me that they don't come to that conclusion because they just did a poll of San Franciscans.

01:17:19.240 And the Chamber of Commerce shows 8 out of 10 residents consider crime worse and the quality of life has declined.

01:17:30.640 70% feel the quality of life has declined in San Francisco.

01:17:34.700 That's huge.

01:17:35.560 So that's not just Republicans saying, yeah, I mean, this city is starting to suck.

01:17:40.840 Around 88% of people said homelessness has worsened.

01:17:45.800 80% view addressing this homeless crisis as a high priority.

01:17:51.700 60% believe it should be a high priority for San Francisco to maintain funding for police academy classes in order to recruit younger, diverse, progressive members to replace those who have retired or left the San Francisco Police Department.

01:18:07.180 76% say it should be a high priority for the city to increase the number of police officers in high crime neighborhoods.

01:18:15.040 82% want more caseworkers on the streets to help individuals suffering from mental illness.

01:18:21.900 Might be a good idea.

01:18:23.620 74% support providing more temporary shelter for homeless individuals.

01:18:27.980 So maybe it's time for a change in San Francisco.

01:18:34.160 Maybe.

01:18:34.660 Maybe.

01:18:35.200 I don't know.

01:18:36.420 I often go back to, as you were talking, I was trying to remember what the exact stat was and I found it here.

01:18:42.560 This is an inconvenient book.

01:18:44.300 So it's Glenn's first, I think it was his first number one New York Times bestseller.

01:18:49.140 So it goes back a ways now.

01:18:50.500 But I would say, I think that came out in what, 2006, 2007, something like that.

01:18:53.800 But if you think back to those days, since then, we haven't exactly seen an explosion of big cities run by Republicans.

01:19:01.220 Would you agree with that analysis?

01:19:02.700 Yes.

01:19:03.040 Okay.

01:19:03.340 So this is just going back to 2006 or 2007.

01:19:07.460 And this is the percentage of time these cities were run by Republicans since 1965.

01:19:16.000 Okay.

01:19:16.320 Now, I didn't, these are not a random collection of cities.

01:19:20.600 These cities are the cities with the worst poverty rates at the time.

01:19:25.840 Oh, okay.

01:19:26.880 So not too much change in these.

01:19:28.360 I don't think they may have reordered, reshuffled a little bit, but you get the point here.

01:19:31.600 So New Orleans since 1965, 0% of the time has been run by Republicans.

01:19:38.020 Philadelphia, 0% of the time.

01:19:41.660 Newark, 0% of the time.

01:19:44.780 Huh.

01:19:44.960 Milwaukee, 0% of the time.

01:19:48.560 Cincinnati, 19% of the time since 1965, run by a Republican.

01:19:53.800 St. Louis, 0% of the time.

01:19:57.280 Buffalo, 0% of the time.

01:20:00.600 Atlanta.

01:20:01.780 Wow.

01:20:02.460 0% of the time.

01:20:04.220 Miami, 31% of the time.

01:20:06.600 And I believe Miami currently has a Republican mayor as well.

01:20:10.200 Detroit, 0% of the time.

01:20:13.020 And why is that in Miami?

01:20:14.080 Probably the Cuban population that want to try something different because they've been through

01:20:18.360 this stuff in Cuba and they understand it.

01:20:20.840 And so they're like, hey, let's go a different way.

01:20:23.340 Yeah.

01:20:23.920 And it works at 31% of the time.

01:20:26.260 To give you the grand total here, Republicans have run the cities with the worst poverty problems

01:20:30.860 in America, only 8% of the time since 1965.

01:20:34.140 And that is a stat that is now 15 years old.

01:20:38.620 So in that time, we've seen Democrats running those cities for even longer periods of time.

01:20:44.260 So that number is a little too high at 8%.

01:20:46.480 I'm not, you could even argue that Republicans don't have the right answers, but you can't

01:20:52.280 argue you should continue doing what the left wants you to do.

01:20:55.480 Obviously, these policies fail over and over and over again.

01:21:00.140 They continue to create and maintain a status of horrific poverty, crime, and so much more.

01:21:12.540 It is a constant struggle for the people in these cities to avoid the worst outcomes in

01:21:19.540 our society, and it's a large part because of progressive policies that have destroyed

01:21:26.180 these cities.

01:21:27.020 They weren't always like this.

01:21:28.540 Detroit wasn't always like this.

01:21:30.400 No, Detroit was a wealthy city at one point, a thriving city that was one of the best cities

01:21:36.440 in the world.

01:21:37.940 And look what Democrat leadership has done to it since, what, 1960, 65, somewhere in there.

01:21:45.180 It's been run, I bet, continuously by Democrats since then.

01:21:49.540 Is Democrat one of them that you mentioned that hasn't been run by Republicans at all?

01:21:56.900 I don't know if that was on the list.

01:21:59.380 I think that the only list was the poverty, was just who was at the top of the poverty list

01:22:03.800 at that moment, though a lot of these cities have become worse in that time.

01:22:08.260 You know, it is, you don't have to necessarily embrace every part of the Republican platform.

01:22:15.440 And we should point out, a lot of the Republicans that did, were included in these areas, you

01:22:23.080 know, like, you know, one city has 30%, you know, of the time it's been run by Republicans.

01:22:27.240 That's not exactly going to be like the Republican that would please us, right?

01:22:31.360 Like if you said, who's, what governors have there been of Massachusetts?

01:22:35.080 Well, there's been some Republican governors of Massachusetts, but they're not exactly

01:22:37.940 Mitt Romney, of course.

01:22:40.160 But they're not exactly the ones that maybe policy-wise are consistent with what we would

01:22:45.920 advocate in every situation.

01:22:47.620 Arnold Schwarzenegger in California for a while.

01:22:49.600 Exactly.

01:22:50.140 Yeah.

01:22:50.640 I mean, you know, Maryland has a Republican governor right now.

01:22:53.200 Massachusetts has another Republican governor right now.

01:22:55.000 You know, that's not to say that every Republican, you don't have to necessarily be our flavor

01:22:59.920 of Republican, but just trying something, anything other than what you're doing.

01:23:06.700 That's failing miserably.

01:23:08.960 Constant failure usually means you try something else.

01:23:12.880 I mean, Pat, you and I are not the most svelte individuals in the world.

01:23:18.160 Yeah.

01:23:18.300 You mentioned that I'm not as supple as I used to be.

01:23:20.780 Well, that was calling you old.

01:23:22.780 I'm talking about being fat.

01:23:24.000 Okay.

01:23:24.760 And so, both you and I-

01:23:26.320 So, old and fat.

01:23:26.560 Yeah, old and fat.

01:23:27.320 Good.

01:23:27.560 Thank you.

01:23:27.720 Now, you own Kexi Cookie, well, you're a partner, of course, with your wife in this

01:23:31.540 particular venture.

01:23:32.440 Yes.

01:23:32.600 And your kids work at the family business, a little bit there.

01:23:35.480 But Kexi Cookie is a company, usually when you own a cookie company, you're not, I mean,

01:23:40.060 is it possible to remain, as a man, at least, thin?

01:23:44.300 I don't think it's possible, especially when the cookies taste that good.

01:23:46.780 Yes.

01:23:47.000 So, you know, look, we would recognize that what we have done has not worked.

01:23:55.540 Okay?

01:23:55.940 We've had our moments, right?

01:23:57.220 Sometimes we've had good runs where we've lost some weight, maybe we've looked a little

01:24:00.320 bit better than other periods of time.

01:24:01.960 But generally speaking, we come back to the same terrible practices.

01:24:05.320 At least, though, we're trying things sometimes.

01:24:09.000 Like, we don't just necessarily go down the same route every single time.

01:24:12.160 We might try a different approach.

01:24:13.640 We might try to convince ourselves in a different way not to have that ninth cheeseburger.

01:24:17.200 Whatever the reason is, you at least try different things.

01:24:20.140 And if we continue to do the things that we continue to do, we realize what the result

01:24:23.940 will be.

01:24:24.820 Yes.

01:24:25.080 We will look like ourselves.

01:24:26.460 Mm-hmm.

01:24:27.080 And-

01:24:27.800 Or even worse.

01:24:28.500 Or even worse.

01:24:29.140 We could look like Jeffy, as you point out.

01:24:31.480 And it could even get to that level.

01:24:33.380 Point being, that when you have a situation that's not going your way, perhaps trying

01:24:39.960 something different would help.

01:24:42.260 Yeah.

01:24:42.700 And seemingly no city in America can get it through their thick heads that this is something

01:24:49.380 that you should do.

01:24:50.300 I mean, in Seattle, in Seattle, there is a King County Council person who, well, she's

01:25:01.360 running for King County Council.

01:25:04.980 And a few years ago, maybe it was 10 years ago, she actually boarded a bus of school children

01:25:12.980 and threatened to blow it up.

01:25:15.140 Now, I'm a little pickier about the people I vote for than that.

01:25:22.320 I am not sure if, I mean, do we have the, yeah, it's cut five.

01:25:28.100 The lady running for King County Council in Seattle gets on the school bus.

01:25:32.180 I believe this was in 2011.

01:25:34.220 And here's what happened.

01:25:35.620 Sure.

01:25:36.100 Um, you can't drive, you can't leave.

01:25:40.720 I can't leave?

01:25:42.780 Yeah.

01:25:43.540 Why?

01:25:45.480 Hi, girl.

01:25:46.920 What?

01:25:47.940 So she claims to have a bomb on her.

01:25:53.440 I might have a bomb.

01:25:54.740 She's telling people I'm Muslim.

01:25:56.100 I'm covered.

01:25:56.640 I might have a bomb.

01:25:57.800 And she's going to blow it up.

01:25:59.280 I might have a gun.

01:26:01.640 And finally, a police officer boards the bus.

01:26:13.160 Some kids actually escape out the back.

01:26:20.440 She continues to yell about the bomb that she has.

01:26:23.280 And a police officer comes on.

01:26:24.760 I'm going to ask you to get off the bus right now.

01:26:27.380 I'm going to ask you once, and then I'm going to take you off the bus.

01:26:30.440 If you choose not to get off the bus, I'm going to drop you right here as we stand.

01:26:34.500 Do you understand that?

01:26:35.900 Okay.

01:26:36.340 Then what I would do is back up off this bus right now.

01:26:38.920 Turn around and face the face of me.

01:26:41.500 All right.

01:26:41.980 Start backing up.

01:26:44.240 Start backing up.

01:26:45.460 I'm only going to tell you once.

01:26:49.780 I don't care if you're prepared to die.

01:26:55.580 I'm prepared to kill you.

01:26:56.620 So, the cop finally takes care of this situation.

01:27:00.780 It turns out she didn't have a bomb.

01:27:03.240 But there are council members and members of the Democrat Party that are defending her

01:27:08.600 and talking about what a great leader she is.

01:27:12.060 Of course.

01:27:12.500 I'm thinking anybody who has threatened school children on a bus like that, that she's going

01:27:18.820 to blow them up and kill them, is probably disqualified from consideration for city council.

01:27:27.960 Look at Pat censoring free speech once again.

01:27:31.120 Doesn't want someone saying they have a bomb and might kill a few school children.

01:27:35.220 Even if they don't, but they say it, then I'm still, I'm not, no, I'm sorry.

01:27:41.400 Is her defense here basically that she was trying to, like, accuse others of believing

01:27:47.040 that every Muslim has a bomb?

01:27:49.040 No, she had depression.

01:27:51.540 Oh, of course.

01:27:52.440 She didn't even have the BS excuse.

01:27:54.400 No, she had, no.

01:27:55.640 It was depression.

01:27:56.640 Right now there's a video going around from a bunch of activists, LGBTQQIA, D, P.

01:28:06.280 Oh, good.

01:28:06.980 Yeah.

01:28:07.320 Thank you for including them.

01:28:08.420 Thank you, demisexual and pansexual activists who are basically saying we're going to, you

01:28:13.820 know, it's a song, I think.

01:28:14.920 And they're saying they're going to, you know, indoctrinate your kids to be gay, convert

01:28:21.000 them to be gay.

01:28:22.020 And like, it seems like it's done in a tongue in cheek way where they're basically mocking

01:28:27.120 the ideas that they think, I guess, us evil churchgoers believe that that's what they're

01:28:31.720 doing and they're trying to have fun with it or whatever.

01:28:34.260 Um, so it's not fun to me, but it's like most people are like, it's, you know, the question

01:28:40.500 is what that's their defense in any way, right?

01:28:42.460 They're basically saying like, okay, well, we're just, we're really funny.

01:28:45.360 And with this, we're just mocking you.

01:28:47.860 She's not even attempting that defense.

01:28:49.640 She's not even saying like, we know you, what you think about Muslims.

01:28:53.340 You think we all have bombs.

01:28:54.440 Well, maybe I have a bomb.

01:28:55.980 She's not even saying that.

01:28:57.020 She's just saying she was depressed.

01:28:58.260 Exactly.

01:28:58.980 And sometimes when you get depressed, you go on a bus to school kids and threaten to

01:29:01.820 blow them up.

01:29:02.160 That's just what you do.

01:29:02.980 That's what you do.

01:29:04.180 888-727-BECK.

01:29:09.080 So I want to let you know that if you've been grilling from the top of your roof, the steaks

01:29:14.660 have never been higher.

01:29:17.160 Get it?

01:29:18.080 Steaks have never been higher.

01:29:21.040 There's a dad joke for you there, if you didn't notice it.

01:29:24.420 But if you are one of the people who like to spend weekends cooking out with your family,

01:29:28.580 it's a great time to bond.

01:29:29.900 It's a great time to tell terrible dad jokes.

01:29:31.560 It's a great time to hang out with your kids, play a little wiffle ball in the backyard,

01:29:34.680 then come in and eat some great food.

01:29:36.600 Well, if you have a Rectech, you're not just buying a grill.

01:29:40.220 You're bringing the industry standard and smart grill technology into your own backyard.

01:29:44.500 You're cooking like the professionals.

01:29:46.200 The Rectech is sleek, beautiful, and made with heavy stainless steel.

01:29:49.600 So it's like grilling on a tank.

01:29:51.860 It's just fantastic.

01:29:54.620 And you can be in the comfort of your own air conditioning and control the whole thing.

01:29:58.320 The whole process can be done from inside, which is the best part about it, potentially,

01:30:02.900 other than the fact that when you're done, the food is fantastic.

01:30:05.820 It's sturdy.

01:30:06.360 It's smart.

01:30:06.920 It's dinner time.

01:30:08.200 Follow Rectech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter.

01:30:11.120 R-E-C-T-E-Q is the way you spell that.

01:30:13.620 It's got a Q at the end.

01:30:14.600 Rectech.com.

01:30:15.440 Rectech with a Q dot com.

01:30:17.240 R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com.

01:30:20.140 10 seconds.

01:30:20.620 Station ID.

01:30:21.860 Speaking of great Democrats doing fantastic jobs, how about the mayor of Chicago?

01:30:40.460 She is...

01:30:41.020 Oh, Lori Lightfoot?

01:30:42.500 Yeah, Lori Lightfoot doing a terrific job.

01:30:44.320 And anybody who criticizes her, well, that's all about her being a BIPOC, of course.

01:30:50.460 Here's what she had to say about it, about why people criticize her.

01:30:55.900 Cut seven.

01:30:57.040 Your reaction to criticism.

01:30:58.860 Tribune editorial used the term irascible.

01:31:02.600 How much of this do you think might have to do with the fact that you're a woman, and specifically a black woman?

01:31:08.020 Oh, all of it.

01:31:08.880 All of it.

01:31:09.020 About 99% of it?

01:31:10.740 About 99%.

01:31:11.540 About 99%.

01:31:12.140 Yeah.

01:31:12.840 About 99%.

01:31:14.080 It's not because she's a hypocrite, and she tells people in Chicago they can't leave their homes, and they can't go to salons, and then she does the opposite.

01:31:23.660 It's not because of any of that.

01:31:25.500 It's because she's black.

01:31:28.200 Mm.

01:31:28.560 Of course.

01:31:30.260 It's the same playbook every single day.

01:31:32.280 Same thing.

01:31:32.380 I'm so tired of it.

01:31:33.680 I'm so tired of it.

01:31:34.640 The other thing they do is they can't disagree that the crime situation is a real problem.

01:31:40.420 So they can't just say, oh, well, you know, the crime is really bad, and obviously we're in charge, so we, oops.

01:31:46.960 They just call it gun crime instead.

01:31:48.720 Now, there's all sorts of crime that happens in these areas that don't have to do with guns.

01:31:53.400 They're all increasing, too.

01:31:55.060 But they're just saying, well, gun crime, if we say gun crime, then we can, of course, blame the gun instead of every other element of society leading to these outcomes.

01:32:04.420 Despite the fact that, especially in her city, they have the toughest gun laws in the country, and they still had 104 people shot, 18 killed over the Independence Day weekend.

01:32:17.140 And again, this is a city that has gun rules so tight, they've been overruled as against the Constitution multiple times.

01:32:26.820 Like, the Heller case was about Chicago.

01:32:29.560 Right.

01:32:30.340 I guess that is how central to this they have.

01:32:33.420 That's how bad their gun laws have been, and still no effect.

01:32:37.120 Amazing.

01:32:37.960 888-727-BECK.

01:32:40.100 More patents to it for Glenn.

01:32:41.340 Coming up.

01:32:43.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:32:47.140 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:32:51.180 888-727-BECK.

01:32:55.940 There is something called the Mandela Effect.

01:33:01.200 And it has to do with Nelson Mandela and people believing that he died in prison, which didn't happen.

01:33:09.020 No, he did not.

01:33:09.920 He actually got out of prison and became pretty prominent for some time before he died.

01:33:14.900 He died in 2013, free man.

01:33:17.360 Yeah, you might remember, that's where Barack Obama hit on the leader of, was it the Netherlands?

01:33:25.060 Yeah, I think the female leader of the Netherlands.

01:33:27.580 And Michelle was not happy with that arrangement.

01:33:30.520 Not happy.

01:33:31.780 She looked pissed.

01:33:32.040 They seemed to be laughing and having a great time and flirting together, and Michelle was,

01:33:37.580 yeah.

01:33:38.360 Not thrilled.

01:33:39.040 Visibly unhappy.

01:33:39.860 I do remember that video now that you say it.

01:33:42.820 Now that you say it.

01:33:44.180 Yeah, so this is idea that basically like society can create a false memory and things, and people

01:33:52.260 will believe.

01:33:53.220 And like it's a mass false memory too.

01:33:55.720 Yeah.

01:33:55.860 Not just like a few people, but everybody believes it.

01:33:58.240 Everybody believes it.

01:33:59.460 So there's some examples of it that are pretty interesting.

01:34:02.100 The Mandela Effect was the belief, as you mentioned, that he died in prison, which I never thought,

01:34:07.200 but I guess a lot of people did.

01:34:09.520 However, this one I could probably, probably be affected by.

01:34:14.040 For example, what does Darth Vader say when he's talking about being the father of Luke

01:34:19.720 Skywalker?

01:34:20.840 Luke, I am your father.

01:34:25.460 Right.

01:34:26.160 A hundred percent, right?

01:34:28.240 That is definitely what he says, except for the fact that's not what he says.

01:34:31.820 He says, he says, actually in the movie, no, I am your father.

01:34:37.620 He's answering it.

01:34:38.840 Right.

01:34:38.980 Because Luke says to him, you killed my father.

01:34:42.980 You're like, Luke, you don't know what happened to your father.

01:34:47.840 You killed my father.

01:34:50.880 No, I am your father.

01:34:55.080 Right.

01:34:56.200 Right.

01:34:56.780 Excellent.

01:34:57.140 By the way, excellent recreation there.

01:34:58.660 That was amazing.

01:34:59.160 But yeah, I mean, I would have totally said, Luke, I am your father.

01:35:02.320 I would too.

01:35:02.840 And bet money on it.

01:35:04.200 That I was sure.

01:35:05.200 Yes.

01:35:05.440 So there's a bunch of examples of that.

01:35:06.540 That's one of them.

01:35:07.280 But that one I would have definitely gotten wrong.

01:35:09.220 How about this one?

01:35:11.620 Monopoly.

01:35:12.120 The game of Monopoly.

01:35:13.520 Mm-hmm.

01:35:14.400 Does the Monopoly man have a monocle?

01:35:18.100 Well, yeah.

01:35:19.840 Absolutely.

01:35:20.520 No, he does not.

01:35:22.380 The Monopoly guy does not have a monocle?

01:35:24.620 He does not have a monocle.

01:35:26.060 He's never had a monocle.

01:35:27.600 Is he holding it in his hand?

01:35:29.020 No.

01:35:30.000 He's holding money bags in his hand.

01:35:31.480 Okay.

01:35:32.020 So he doesn't have it in his eye and it's not in his hand.

01:35:34.780 No.

01:35:35.540 The belief is that people are conflating the Monopoly guy and Mr. Peanut.

01:35:41.840 Now, Mr. Peanut does have a monocle.

01:35:46.020 Those are two very different characters, actually.

01:35:48.940 I don't think I've ever conflated the two.

01:35:52.860 I'm pretty sure the Monopoly man is not made of peanuts.

01:35:56.420 That's one thing I am sure of.

01:35:58.160 Yes.

01:35:58.700 Well, that's an interesting one.

01:35:59.760 That is interesting.

01:36:00.040 Okay, here's another one.

01:36:00.980 This one I would have probably got wrong, too.

01:36:03.540 If you think back to your childhood, you're making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich,

01:36:07.760 maybe a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for your kids.

01:36:09.920 Mm-hmm.

01:36:10.280 And you break out the Jiffy peanut butter.

01:36:15.060 Yes.

01:36:15.960 I would think it's Jiffy.

01:36:18.380 Yeah.

01:36:19.180 No.

01:36:19.580 But I know it's not because we went through this on my show a couple of weeks ago.

01:36:23.740 Okay.

01:36:23.880 It just came up.

01:36:24.620 And I'm like, did Jiffy used to be called Jiffy?

01:36:27.640 It was like, no.

01:36:29.680 No.

01:36:30.100 It's never been Jiffy peanut butter.

01:36:32.420 It's always been Jiff.

01:36:33.420 Yes.

01:36:33.640 So, there is a Jiffy peanut butter.

01:36:35.440 And there is also a Skippy peanut butter.

01:36:37.560 But there has never been a Jiffy peanut butter.

01:36:40.020 Someone out there should create a Jiffy peanut butter.

01:36:43.440 Yes.

01:36:43.940 Right?

01:36:44.340 It'd be successful.

01:36:45.180 It would be huge.

01:36:46.240 Everyone would think that was the one they've been buying since they were a kid.

01:36:48.820 But no, there's no such thing.

01:36:50.400 Really weird.

01:36:51.020 Okay.

01:36:51.120 Another movie one here.

01:36:52.300 Now, I don't know how much you were a fan of Silence of the Lambs.

01:36:55.800 Probably not that much.

01:36:56.840 Not a big fan.

01:36:56.860 But it was a huge movie, obviously.

01:36:58.340 And if you've never seen the movie, you probably know one thing about it.

01:37:01.580 When she walks into, in front of the cell door there, he says, hello, Clarice.

01:37:09.020 It's like a very famous thing.

01:37:11.000 Okay.

01:37:11.600 Yeah.

01:37:11.980 He doesn't say, hello, Clarice, in the movie.

01:37:14.620 He actually just says, good morning.

01:37:18.480 Really?

01:37:19.140 Yes.

01:37:19.500 Because that's what everybody says.

01:37:21.180 Yes.

01:37:21.620 Now, he says, Clarice.

01:37:22.520 Hello, Clarice.

01:37:23.060 Yes.

01:37:23.760 Mm-hmm.

01:37:24.300 He says, Clarice, in that voice, many times.

01:37:27.360 But he only says, good morning.

01:37:28.960 He never says, hello, Clarice.

01:37:30.760 That is weird.

01:37:31.880 Okay.

01:37:32.280 Fruit of the Loom.

01:37:33.440 Yeah.

01:37:34.000 Okay.

01:37:34.680 Underwear.

01:37:35.300 Right.

01:37:35.900 You've got the symbol of Fruit of the Loom.

01:37:38.460 Can you picture it in your head?

01:37:39.740 Mm-hmm.

01:37:40.420 Now, I would have pictured it in my head as a bunch of fruit kind of spilling out of a

01:37:44.580 cornucopia type of thing, right?

01:37:46.000 Yes.

01:37:46.540 Okay.

01:37:48.120 The fruit has never spilled out of a basket.

01:37:50.640 It does not come out of a basket.

01:37:52.480 It is literally just a pile of food.

01:37:54.640 Really?

01:37:55.100 Yeah.

01:37:55.420 Which is a weird thing to put on your underwear.

01:37:57.540 That is weird.

01:37:58.100 It's strange to put food.

01:37:59.960 I mean, I almost want it in a basket so it would be protected.

01:38:02.240 But no, it's just food attached to your backside.

01:38:04.520 Yeah.

01:38:04.800 Why are we associating food with the underwear?

01:38:08.780 I guess, obviously, fruit.

01:38:11.040 And it's fruit of the loom.

01:38:12.840 It is.

01:38:13.820 And so.

01:38:14.800 So there you go.

01:38:15.640 There you go.

01:38:16.220 But still.

01:38:16.760 Okay.

01:38:17.060 This one I didn't remember.

01:38:18.780 Mona Lisa.

01:38:20.480 When you look at the thing of the Mona Lisa in your head.

01:38:22.480 Yeah.

01:38:23.020 Is the Mona Lisa smiling?

01:38:25.000 Is the Mona Lisa frowning?

01:38:26.820 What is the Mona Lisa doing?

01:38:29.880 I think she's smiling.

01:38:31.860 Like a little smirk.

01:38:33.300 That's exactly right.

01:38:34.300 She has a little bit of smirk.

01:38:35.760 Most people remember this as her frowning a little bit.

01:38:38.900 It's a dour times in that painting.

01:38:40.980 So I can understand maybe why you conceptually put that.

01:38:43.300 But that's not true.

01:38:44.500 Do you remember Ed McMahon?

01:38:46.900 Yes.

01:38:47.280 Back in the day.

01:38:48.520 He's showing up on doorsteps.

01:38:50.160 He's giving people oversized checks and balloons.

01:38:52.400 Oh, I love this one too.

01:38:53.440 Because this I've stumbled onto as well.

01:38:55.740 For the Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes.

01:38:57.900 He never worked for Publishers Clearinghouse.

01:39:02.260 Right?

01:39:02.780 It's incredible.

01:39:03.500 It is incredible.

01:39:05.180 When I first saw this, I didn't believe it.

01:39:07.260 I know.

01:39:07.840 In fact, I went back to all the videos because I didn't believe it.

01:39:11.240 I'm like, yes, he did.

01:39:12.220 Yes, he did.

01:39:12.840 Publishers Clearinghouse.

01:39:13.620 He did.

01:39:14.060 No, he did not.

01:39:14.760 No, he did not.

01:39:15.460 McMahon never made any house calls.

01:39:17.280 First of all, he never went to a house.

01:39:18.640 He just endorsed a separate entity called American Family Publishers.

01:39:24.740 It's crazy.

01:39:25.580 They are similar entities, but McMahon never was on camera.

01:39:28.000 Doesn't that tell you what a terrible job he did representing that country?

01:39:31.520 That company when everybody thinks he was for their competitor.

01:39:35.480 Right.

01:39:36.240 It's weird.

01:39:37.540 That is very weird.

01:39:38.060 He sucked.

01:39:38.780 They shouldn't have paid him a dime for that.

01:39:40.660 I'm sorry if you're, you know, a recipient of the estate of Ed McMahon, but you shouldn't

01:39:46.040 get a penny.

01:39:46.620 Well, I mean, it's very memorable commercials.

01:39:48.300 You just don't remember what they were for, apparently.

01:39:50.480 You think they were for the competition, which is weird.

01:39:52.940 Very.

01:39:53.300 It really would be weird if, you know, later on people were like, I remember that Ronald

01:39:57.340 McDonald, but he was the Burger King guy.

01:39:59.400 That would be weird.

01:40:00.940 Would.

01:40:01.620 Okay.

01:40:01.900 Berenstain Bears.

01:40:03.720 You know them.

01:40:04.700 Mm-hmm.

01:40:05.000 Can you, do you know how to spell the last name, the name of the bear?

01:40:10.540 Like Berenstain, S-T-E-I-N.

01:40:13.760 Right.

01:40:14.920 That's what I would have said.

01:40:16.120 I would have bet my life on it.

01:40:17.620 I read these books as a kid.

01:40:19.300 The correct pronunciation and has always been, the correct spelling, excuse me, B-E-R-E-N-S-T-A-I-N.

01:40:26.520 Oh, it's Berenstain?

01:40:27.720 Yeah.

01:40:27.980 It's always been Berenstain.

01:40:29.180 It's named after the authors whose last name is Berenstain.

01:40:31.660 It's never been Berenstain Bears, ever, yet I would have bet my life on it.

01:40:36.740 Uh-huh.

01:40:37.560 C-3PO.

01:40:38.460 What color is C-3PO?

01:40:43.380 Gold.

01:40:44.260 Gold.

01:40:45.840 100% gold, right?

01:40:47.200 Yeah.

01:40:47.760 The lower portion of his right leg below the knee was silver when you first see him in the

01:40:52.560 movie, and it's a fact that sometimes surprises people who have seen the original trilogy

01:40:57.040 dozens of times, according to Mental Floss.

01:40:59.940 Really weird.

01:41:00.880 Amazing.

01:41:01.140 Risky Business, 1983, Tom Cruise.

01:41:04.400 Uh-huh.

01:41:04.780 He slides out.

01:41:06.060 He's in his underwear.

01:41:07.160 Yes.

01:41:07.500 He's dancing in his sunglasses.

01:41:08.940 Uh-huh.

01:41:09.760 Except he's not wearing sunglasses.

01:41:11.540 That's from a different part of the, it's like from the movie poster, he's wearing sunglasses.

01:41:16.240 He's not wearing sunglasses in the famous scene of that movie, though everyone seems to

01:41:20.060 think that he is.

01:41:22.020 And this is probably the most common one cited, which is this Shazam the movie.

01:41:27.980 Uh-huh.

01:41:28.260 Shazam the movie starring Sinbad as a genie for kids.

01:41:33.360 Except for the fact that that movie never existed.

01:41:36.540 There's never been a movie named Shazam with Sinbad in it.

01:41:39.800 There's a movie named Kazam with Shaq in it.

01:41:42.820 Really?

01:41:44.920 Yeah.

01:41:45.140 Isn't that weird?

01:41:45.640 Really?

01:41:46.000 I totally would have thought that was a movie.

01:41:47.660 Shazam.

01:41:48.220 Yeah.

01:41:48.600 And Sinbad, I could picture him in the unit.

01:41:50.100 Yeah.

01:41:50.220 Like, I could picture it.

01:41:51.200 I was with you until you brought up the Shaq thing.

01:41:54.420 And now it's true.

01:41:55.880 It's a movie called Kazam.

01:41:57.340 Shaquille O'Neal was in it.

01:41:58.600 Huh.

01:41:58.860 There is no movie named Shazam with Sinbad as a genie in the movie.

01:42:05.320 But for some reason, a lot of people, including myself, would have absolutely bet my life on

01:42:11.080 the fact.

01:42:11.300 Yeah, I would have sworn on it.

01:42:12.060 I would have sworn by it.

01:42:13.200 So weird.

01:42:13.760 Absolutely.

01:42:14.360 So weird.

01:42:16.060 Fruit Loops.

01:42:17.340 How is Fruit Loops spelled?

01:42:18.680 I think I know this one.

01:42:21.600 Is it F-R-O-O-T?

01:42:23.660 It is O-O-T.

01:42:24.400 Okay.

01:42:24.860 And the other reason I think, first of all, I like Fruit Loops a lot.

01:42:28.700 But I think I've noticed this one before.

01:42:30.300 And the O-O is like the shape of the loops.

01:42:34.480 Yes.

01:42:35.260 But I totally could have got that one wrong.

01:42:37.080 Yeah.

01:42:37.720 I would have said Fruit.

01:42:39.320 Spelled as Fruit.

01:42:42.220 Let's see.

01:42:45.760 You didn't do Curious George, did you?

01:42:48.320 The Monkey?

01:42:49.100 Oh, yeah.

01:42:49.420 When I was a kid, I used to.

01:42:50.840 Did he have a tail or no tail?

01:42:54.480 He had a tail.

01:42:55.820 He did not have a tail.

01:42:58.240 Did not have a tail.

01:42:59.580 Really?

01:43:01.560 Why?

01:43:02.120 What happened to it?

01:43:03.020 I don't know.

01:43:03.980 I'm concerned for George.

01:43:04.700 I don't know if it was bitten off by a lion.

01:43:07.220 I'm not sure what kind of tragic accident happened there.

01:43:11.020 I blame Joe Biden.

01:43:13.360 Joe Biden.

01:43:14.340 I mean, he was around back then.

01:43:15.860 He's probably responsible.

01:43:17.500 Probably.

01:43:18.820 Cheez-Its.

01:43:19.400 Do you eat Cheez-It or are they Cheez-Its?

01:43:24.320 Well, they're Cheez-Its.

01:43:26.320 They're Cheez-It.

01:43:28.460 Just I-T.

01:43:29.280 No Z.

01:43:30.920 Do you know that?

01:43:31.600 I would...

01:43:32.280 Everybody I know calls them Cheez-Its.

01:43:34.640 Yeah.

01:43:35.200 Nobody calls them,

01:43:36.220 Hey, can I have some Cheez-It?

01:43:38.380 Please?

01:43:38.860 Nobody.

01:43:39.600 I'd like a little bit of a...

01:43:41.180 Give me a bag of the Cheez-It.

01:43:43.860 Nobody would say that.

01:43:44.780 No one says that.

01:43:47.320 That is really weird.

01:43:48.460 That's wrong.

01:43:49.020 That kind of blows me away.

01:43:51.400 How about Double Stuff Oreos?

01:43:53.620 Do you know how to spell double stuff?

01:43:57.640 You spell the stuff part of double.

01:43:59.980 Double Stuff Oreo.

01:44:01.440 I mean, I'm just assuming it's not S-T-U-F-F.

01:44:04.420 You're just assuming correctly.

01:44:05.760 It's just one F.

01:44:07.080 Really?

01:44:07.500 Why?

01:44:07.880 That's not how you spell it.

01:44:08.920 They spell it wrong on the packaging.

01:44:11.440 So, yeah.

01:44:12.880 I just...

01:44:14.160 And I've been in front of a lot of bags of double stuff over the years.

01:44:17.500 To not recognize that?

01:44:19.040 Yeah.

01:44:19.340 That's amazing.

01:44:19.940 I mean, basically my whole life, almost daily, has been a bag of double stuff down the gullet.

01:44:26.140 And even I didn't pick that up.

01:44:29.060 The Flintstones.

01:44:31.560 Have you ever noticed that there are two T's in it?

01:44:35.700 It's Flintstones.

01:44:38.320 Not Flintstones.

01:44:40.100 I would have never guessed.

01:44:41.180 I'm looking at the logo, and I would have never, ever believed there were...

01:44:46.100 Flintstones.

01:44:47.240 Two T's there.

01:44:48.440 Yeah.

01:44:48.700 I would say Flintstones.

01:44:50.260 Flintstones vitamin.

01:44:53.140 Also, life is like a box of chocolates.

01:44:56.040 Yeah.

01:44:56.440 From Forrest Gump.

01:44:57.220 That's not what he actually said.

01:44:59.400 If you listen closely, he says, life was like a box of chocolates.

01:45:04.820 Really?

01:45:05.000 I would have sworn by that one, too.

01:45:07.200 Life is like a box of chocolates.

01:45:10.120 What?

01:45:10.360 Like, life was like a box of chocolates.

01:45:13.740 Right.

01:45:14.400 Yeah.

01:45:14.720 I think they think part of this is, you know, the mistake gets made once, and then it gets

01:45:19.540 repeated and repeated and repeated, and people just take in the mistaken example.

01:45:24.720 But it is a really strange thing.

01:45:26.060 There is an entire society out there that believes this is like some interdimensional conspiracy.

01:45:32.640 That, like, for example, Shazam with Sinbad was a movie, but it was in like a parallel dimension, and it's like slipped through somehow.

01:45:43.200 So, we still...

01:45:44.820 People really believe this.

01:45:46.280 I could almost subscribe to that theory.

01:45:48.580 Well, that's how much I believe this stuff.

01:45:51.900 Lord of the Rings.

01:45:52.780 One more here.

01:45:53.540 Just the Lord of the Rings where Gandalf is...

01:45:57.780 You wouldn't know this one, because you don't do Lord of the Rings, right?

01:46:01.120 Not really, no.

01:46:01.900 When he takes his staff, and he bashes it on the...

01:46:07.740 He slams it down.

01:46:10.040 Yeah.

01:46:10.540 Something like...

01:46:11.100 And it breaks off the bridge, and that big thing is coming at him.

01:46:15.020 And the big thing grabs him and pulls him down with it, and he just hangs on for a minute, and he looks up at his group of friends, and he says,

01:46:24.560 Run, you fools!

01:46:27.280 He doesn't actually say, run, you fools.

01:46:29.520 He says, fly, you fools.

01:46:32.920 And almost everybody remembers it, and says it.

01:46:35.620 Run, you fools.

01:46:37.640 Weird.

01:46:38.560 Right?

01:46:39.100 Weird.

01:46:40.060 It's, I believe, the interdimensional thing now.

01:46:42.380 You've convinced me.

01:46:43.380 Yeah.

01:46:43.620 It was the Lord of the Rings thing that you've never seen that finally convinced you.

01:46:46.740 Yeah, exactly.

01:46:49.680 888-727-BECK.

01:46:53.300 It's Pat and Stu.

01:46:55.100 888-727-BECK.

01:46:57.880 Gotta do this one more.

01:46:59.740 We were just talking about the Mandela effect.

01:47:01.940 Things that you believe, the whole society believes, but really aren't true, weren't quite the way you remember them.

01:47:07.400 Things like Jiffy Peanut Butter never existed.

01:47:09.860 It's always been Jiff.

01:47:11.640 How about Smokey Bear?

01:47:14.280 No the in it.

01:47:15.940 It's just Smokey Bear.

01:47:18.560 But, here's why.

01:47:20.740 Do you remember the song?

01:47:23.300 When they sang the song, it was Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear, prowling and a-growling and a-sniffing the air.

01:47:31.720 So, they called him Smokey the Bear in that, and that's what caused that.

01:47:36.340 That's just wrong.

01:47:37.100 Yeah.

01:47:37.560 Look, I think both are true, too.

01:47:39.420 I mean, if his name is Smokey Bear, he's also a bear.

01:47:42.300 So, Smokey the Bear and Smokey Bear would both be accurate.

01:47:44.820 Yes.

01:47:45.520 Right?

01:47:46.080 Yes.

01:47:46.780 I will say, I think there's a point in the future where we're like, do you remember Joe Biden being president?

01:47:53.380 Did that happen?

01:47:55.660 I hope we're at that point sometime very soon.

01:47:59.460 Wait, no.

01:48:00.000 He wasn't really president.

01:48:00.920 No, no.

01:48:01.280 He was vice president.

01:48:02.140 Yeah, he was vice president.

01:48:03.520 And he was a senator.

01:48:04.480 Yeah.

01:48:04.860 Right?

01:48:05.220 But not.

01:48:05.900 He ran for president, but he didn't-

01:48:07.660 He didn't make it.

01:48:08.380 He ran like five times, didn't he?

01:48:10.600 Yeah, he couldn't have won the presidency of the United States.

01:48:13.560 No, he was senile by the time he was in his late 70s.

01:48:17.480 Yeah.

01:48:17.680 He couldn't have been president.

01:48:18.840 Right?

01:48:19.500 Yeah.

01:48:20.000 No.

01:48:20.180 I do kind of remember him bumbling and fumbling around basic sentences in the Oval Office, I think.

01:48:27.800 He wasn't-

01:48:28.800 Good God, that man wasn't president, was he?

01:48:30.800 Please tell me that day is coming very, very soon.
